No it is not. It just means it has a neutral charge. Eg. a charge of 2+ and 2- would have a neutral charge.
Thing of it as integers
No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
That means the charge is neither positive nor negative, it is neutral. Such an atomhas the same number of protons and electrons. If the charge is not zero then it is called an ion rather than an atom.
It has the same number of protons and electrons. Because protons have got positive charges while the electrons have got negative charges, so if their amount is the same, the atom will be a neutral one.
No, an ion is a charged particle that has gained or lost electrons, giving it a net positive or negative charge. A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, so it does not have an overall charge.
No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.
I think you mean a neutron. We don't say 'a neutral charge', but rather that it has no charge.
No, neutrons have a neutral charge and electrons have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge.
The number of electrons should be the same amount as the protons if there is neutral charge
There is no charge. The atom is neutral.
0 -- neutral -- no charge
well, since a neutron = 0 charge placed into a neutral which is has no charge, it stays the same.
An atom that has a neutral charge is one with which the quantity of electrons is equal to the atomic number.
it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
Neutral.
No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
That means the charge is neither positive nor negative, it is neutral. Such an atomhas the same number of protons and electrons. If the charge is not zero then it is called an ion rather than an atom.
When something is electrically neutral it has neither a positive nor a negative charge.
