Question

if atom consists of one electron and one proton,will it carry any charge or not



​

Answer 1

Answer: HEY YOUR PROBLEM IS VERY EASY I WILL TELL YOU THE ANSWER

Explanation: THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AS FOLLOW                                                                                                                                    

Solution : 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, the atom won't contain any charge.

Explanation:

Given:

• An atom in which:

1. Number of electrons = 1
2. Number of protons = 1

To find: The charge on the given atom

Proof:

We know that:

An electron is a negatively charged particle.

∴ Charge on an electron = $-1$

And,

A proton is a positively charged particle

∴ Charge on a proton = $+1$

Thus, according to the question,

Total charge = Charge on 1 electron + Charge on one proton

= $-1 +1$

= 0

Hence, the charge on an atom containing one electron and one proton = 0; i.e. no charge; neutral atom.

This is because when opposite charges of equal magnitude add up, the charge cancels out and the resulting net charge turns out to be 0.

Hope you got that.

Thank You.
