Question

if an atom contains one proton and one electron will it carry any charge or not

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

It wont have charge because an atom to be electrically neutral has to have equal protons and neutrons,since it is having 1 proton and one electron they cancel each others effect and hence the atom has no charge
