​

Answer 1

$\large\boxed{\rm{\blue{★ﾑɳรωεя★\leadsto}}}$

Since a proton is a positively charged particle and an electron is a negatively charged particle, the net

charge becomes neutral as both the particles neutralizes each other.

Answer 2

An electron is a negatively charged particle, whereas a proton is a positively charged particle. The magnitude of their charges is equal. Therefore, an atom containing one electron and one proton will not carry any charge. Thus, it will be a neutral atom.
