Question

Q 4 How can you consider an atom to be electrically neutral when it has both negatively charged electron and positively charged proton?​

Answer 1

the number of proton and number of electron are same so charges of electron and charge of proton are same so that the atom is neutral

Answer 2

Explanation:

• An atom is made up of neutrons, electrons, and protons.
• Neutrons are neutral in nature.

• Atom has negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons and the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
• Hence the overall charge of the atom is zero and the atom consider as a neutral species.
