Question

There are charged particles in an atom but atom said to be electrically neutral why is it so?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal quantities of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, so the result is no net change.

Answer 2

Answer:

Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.
