In any neutrally charged atom ; YES!!!!
e.g. Carbon.
Carbon has 6 protons (+) and 6 electrons (-).
However, when an atom loses or gains electrons, the numbers are NOT equal, and the atom is now known as an ION.
e.g.
Sodium
Sodium has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
The Sodium ION has 11 protons and 10 electrons. and has the symbol (Na^(+)). NB 11(+) + 10(-) = +1 = '+'.

What is charges of atom?
An atom is electrically neutral because it has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). The protons and electrons balance each other out, resulting in no overall charge for the atom.
What if their are 8 protons in an atom how many electrons are their?
If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 charge.
Why electrons are attracted to protons?
Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.
Why does an atom that has the same number of protons as electrons is electrically neutral?
An atom with an equal number of protons and electrons is electrically neutral because protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. The positive charge of the protons cancels out the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
Which two subatomic particles are present in equal numbers in an atom?
In each neutral atom of any given element, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal, as the charges in the atom must balance. Only the neutron number may vary amongst atoms of the same element.
This paper has charged particles viz protons and electrons Why does it not exhibit electricity?
because the net charge of all the protons and electrons cancel each other out.
An atom has the same number of protons and electrons have a charge of?
It would have no charge because each of the negative and positive charges from the protons and electrons would cancel each other out.
How many electons are in a neutral atom?
A neutral atom has as many electrons as protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, but because there are the same number of them, they cancel each other out.
Why do atoms have a neutral charge or no charge when the have positive protons and negative electrons?
A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons. The magnitude of the charges that these particles carry is the same. So they cancel each other.
Why must the number of protons and atoms in an element be the same?
If you mean protons and electrons then protons are positive and electrons are negative, so the protons and electrons cancel each other out leaving the atom stable. If the numbers were uneven, the atom would be unstable and decay, but that doesn't mean that all unstable atoms have an uneven number of protons and electrons.
What is charges of atom?
An atom is electrically neutral because it has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). The protons and electrons balance each other out, resulting in no overall charge for the atom.
What charge does an object have when the protrons and electrons are evenly distributed?
The object is electrically neutral when protons and electrons are evenly distributed, as they cancel each other out. This means the object has no overall charge.
Why an atome is neutral?
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.
How can an atom be electrically neutral charged when it contain particles that are charged?
an atom is electrically neutral if the protons and electrons are the same number. ex: if you have 16 protons and 16 electrons its is neutral
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.
Why do electron and proton doesnt suck to each other?
Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge
Why is the the overall charge of the atom neutral?
Because in a neutral atom, there are an equal number of positive protons and negative electrons. The equal number causes the charges to cancel out, making the net charge 0.An atom is made of positive protons and neutral neutrons in the nucleus, and negative electrons surrounding the nucleus. An normal atom has the same number of protons and neutrons, so the protons and nuetrons cancel each other out, resulting in an overall charge of zero.
