How Can Atoms Be Neutral if they are made up of changed particles?

The Atom is neutral because the charged particles sum to zero,m thus neutral. The positive charges are in the nucleus and the negative particles are the electrons. The sum is zero and the atom is neutral.

Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?
Why has the atomic models changed over time?
It was found that atoms are made up of even smaller particles (through experiments), and the models changed because how we thought atoms were composed turned out to be wrong, and corrections were made accordingly.
Atoms are made up of blank particles?
atoms are made of subatomic particles.
What are neutrals subatomic particle?
Atoms are composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons.Neutrons have a neutral charge.Protons, electrons, and neutrons are made up of smaller particles. Among these, neutrinos are also neutral.
Can atoms be made of smaller particles?
Yes - all atoms are made of smaller particles. Those particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Are atoms are made up of positive ions?
No. An atom with a positive charge is an ion, but atoms can also be neutral. The subatomic particles in atoms are protons, electrons, and (except for a very few low mass isotopes) neutrons.
What are the particles that matter is made of?
atoms
Is gas made of tiny particles?
Yes, everything is made of tiny particles - if it is an element then the particles are atoms of that element, if it is a compound then the particles are molecules composed of atoms of the elements which make up the compound.
What kind of particles are atoms made up of?
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons.
What are atoms are made up of?
Atoms are made out of Electrons, which are made out of ting electrical particles (positive and negative). The particles balance themselves and make up an atom. (1 positive+1 negative=neutral atom) When the particles get neutral, they form an atom. The lightest atom (1 negative and 1 positive) is hydrogen. Oxygen is made out of 8 negative and 8 positive. It is impossible to tell what these tiny particles are made out of. When you separate the positives and negatives, they look for there mates and cause a gigantic explosion, which is the atomic bomb.
Which particles in an atom are in the molecules?
All of them. Molecules are made of atoms, not pieces of atoms.
The idea that everything is made of small particles is known as the?
atoms
