Question

In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons but the number of neutrons can?vary? Why is it so?

Answer 1

because they are in the form of neutral and they cannot count

Answer 2

Answer:

hlo bro

Explanation:

the charge on an atom always depends upon the number of electrons (having negative charge) and protons (having positive charge)

now if the electron proton ratio vary, the atom becomes electrically charged and hence unstable

talking about neutrons

matter how many neutrons are present these dont have any charge and hence dont have any dependence on the charge of atom

hope it helps
