This is correct. An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons is electrically balanced, and is electrically neutral. It will have no overall charge.

Protons, because electrons are equal to the atomic number and protons are equal to the number of electrons.
Gypsum is the commerical/everyday name for calcium sulphate, di-hydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) The calcium sulphate molecule contains the following atoms ;- 1 x calcium 1 x sulphur 4 x oxygen. Discount the di-hydrate. Calcium contains 20 protons and 20 electrons Sulphur contains 18 protons and 18 electrons oxygen contains 8 protons and 8 electrons 4 x oxygen contains 32 protons and 32 electrons. So overall one molecule of gypsum contains 20 + 18 + 32 = 70 protons and 70 electrons.

equal numbers of protons and electrons
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will also have 18 electrons to maintain an overall neutral charge.
It is the boron element. It contains similar numbers of electrons and protons.
Protons, because electrons are equal to the atomic number and protons are equal to the number of electrons.
The numbers of protons and of electrons in a neutral object are the same.
An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged. The opposite charges balance each other out, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
an atom has a no charge or has a net charge zero as it contains equal number of electrons and protons .for example a sodium atom Na has 11 protons and 11 electrons .mathematically +11_11 =0 hence no charge .
The atom has no overall charge because it contains equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. The positive charge from the protons balances out the negative charge from the electrons, resulting in an atom that is electrically neutral.
Yes, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral. If an atom has a different amount of protons and electrons it is electrically charged, and is called an ion, rather than an atom.

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.
protons 74 neutrons 110 electrons 74
The number of protons must equal the number of electrons in an atom for it to have no charge. Protons are positively charged particles, and electrons are negatively charged particles. A balanced number of protons and electrons results in an atom with a neutral overall charge.
