yes
An atom has the same number of positive protons and negative electrons so the charges balance out to zero
When electrons are shared between atoms, the nuclei of both atoms experience attraction towards the electrons and vice versa. At a certain distance, the attraction is maximal because the repulsion between the nuclei is small while the attraction of each nuclei to the electrons is strong. Thus, the atoms are held together by their attraction to the shared electrons.
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
Transition metals have magnetic properties because they have unpaired electrons in their d-orbitals. These unpaired electrons can align their spins in response to an external magnetic field, which leads to the generation of a magnetic field. This property is responsible for the magnetic behavior of transition metals.
Most atoms are electrically balanced because they have the same number of protons, which have a charge of +1, and electrons, which have a charge of -1. However electrons can be lost or gained. When they are, the atom has a different number of protons to electrons so it becomes charged. Example. An uncharged atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. Sometimes it gains two electrons. This means that it has 8 protons but 10 electrons. +8 -10 = -2. therefore the charged atom of oxygen has a charge of -2.
Electricity is like magnetic attraction because like charges in electricity repel similar to the way like magnetic poles repel.
because the electrons and protons are equal.

You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.
the protons and electrons balance each other out
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
because the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons

Because it has 7 electrons in its outermost (valency) shell and getting 8 electrons there would close the shell.
Electrons are not shot off because the e- (which are negative) have an electromagnetic force hold with the protons (positive) in the centre. This attraction is also because of gravity and the force of attraction (as protons/neutrons are significantly heavier than electrons) it creates.
Because it works extremely well.
