When there is an equal number of electrons and protons in an atom what is the charge?
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.
How do electrons an portons make a neutral charge an neutron result in a neutral charged atom?
An atom that has an equal number of protons and electrons will be neutral and have no charge.
What must be equal in a neutral atom?
Protons and electrons must be equal in a neutral atom because protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.
Why does a atom have neutral charge?
it has a neutral charge because it contains an equal number of protons and electrons
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
What is true about a atom that has a neutral charge?
The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and the electrons?
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
What does the word neutral mean for the kinds of charge an atom has?
An atom that has a neutral charge is one with which the quantity of electrons is equal to the atomic number.
Why does an atom have a neutral charge?
it has a neutral charge because it contains an equal number of protons and electrons
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
How does the number of electrons cmpare with the number of protons in a neutral atom?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons and the number of electrons is the same. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. If the numbers of each are equal, then the charges cancel out to zero and the atom is neutral.
