Which atom is electrically neutral?
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
Why is an atom electrically neutral inspite of the presence of charged particles it it?

How does an s2- ion differ from an electrically neutral sulfur atom?
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
Why atom are electrically neutral?
because the electrons and protons are equal.
Is an electrically neutral atom the number of protons equals the number?
An electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons ( positive charged ) and electrons ( negatively charged ).
How can an atom be electrically neutral when its protons change?
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
The electrically neutral particle found in an atom is the?
