A neutral atom is an atom that does not have a positive or negative charge. These ions are highly reactive and usually dont stay in their ionic form very long. Some common neutral atoms are the noble gasses which dont readily lose or gain electrons.

Do a neutral atom have a charge?

It is because there is an equal amount of positive and negative charge to produce a neutral charge. Just the presence of neutrons does not make the atom neutral. An atom will lose its neutral charge if it loses or gains electrons and becomes an ion

A particle of matter contains of 6 protons 7 neutrons and 6 electrons This particle must be a A neutral carbon atom B neutral nitrogen atom C neutral oxygen atom D neutral potassium atom?

A particle containing 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons is a neutral carbon atom. The number of protons determines the element, so 6 protons corresponds to carbon on the periodic table. The number of neutrons is added to determine the isotope, and the number of electrons balances the charge to make it neutral.
