Question

why is an atom electrically neutral​

Answer 1

Answer:

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). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.

Answer 2

Question :-

why is an atom electrically neutral.

Answer :-

When an atom has equal no. of electrons and equal no. of protons, it has equal no. of negative electric charges (electrons) and positive electric charges (protons). Then total electric charge of the atom is zero (Let, +a -a = 0) and then the atom said be electrically neutral. $\:$
