Answer:The number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom is always the same. Therefore, the electric charges cancel each other. The atom is neutral.

An atom is made up of three different kinds of subatomic particles, namely protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons are positively-charged, and electrons are negatively-charged.

The charge on an electron has the same charge as that on a proton, but has the opposite sign. (With a charge of -1 for the electron and +1 for the proton. So just as in simple maths +1 and -1 cancel each other out to giving a sum of 0, to make the atom neutral.) So as long as the protons and electrons are present in equal numbers, the atom overall will have a neutral charge. By definition, an atom has an equal number of protons and neutrons.
