the protons and electrons balance each other out
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of positively charged protons in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons surrounding the nucleus. The positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of protons, which are positively charged, and electrons, which are negatively charged. This balance of positive and negative charges cancels each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
because it normally does not have a electric charge If an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral.
Atoms are built form 3 types of particles Electrons (which are electrically negative) Neutrons (which are electrically neutral) Protons (which are electrically positive) Nature likes things to be balanced so when atoms are put together, nature makes sure that the number of Electron the atom has is matched by the number of Protons. This makes all atoms electrically neutral. However, when atoms react with each other chemically, they can share or swap electrons with each other which means that they are no longer electrically neutral (in this state they are called "ions"). Nature therefore requires that the stuff they have made (called a compound) when joining together is, overall electrically neutral and bonds them together so that this is achieved. This is why chemical compounds exist and are stable.
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
Only electrically neutral atoms.
An electrically neutral particle composed of two or more atoms chemically combined is called a molecule.
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have the same number of positively charged protons in the nucleus as negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus. This balance of positive and negative charges cancels out, resulting in an atom with no overall charge.
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons. You can know this because chlorine's atomic number is 17, which is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and a neutral atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons.
A neutron star is not made of atoms; it is made of neutrons. It is electrically neutral because the matter that collapsed to form it contained the same number of electrons and protons.
