Question

Statement I : Atom is electrically neutral. Statement II : Atom consist of equal no.of electrons and protons are they true
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

An atom is generally neutral. This is because an atom contains equal number of electrons and protons i.e, the number of negative charge carrying species (electrons) is in equal numbers with the positive charging species (protons). So, an atom is electrically neutral

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

i)The amount of charge on a single proton is equal to the amount of charge possessed by a single electron. A proton and an electron have an equal amount but an opposite type of charge. Thus, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral.

ii)Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons).
