All atoms are neutral because they contain an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons, which have a positive charge, are found in the nucleus, while electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus. This balance of positive and negative charges results in no overall electrical charge for the atom. If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion, either positively or negatively charged, but in its neutral state, the charges cancel each other out.

What are neutral atoms?
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
Are atoms life form?
Atoms form all the materials, living or not.
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
Is it true that the number of electrons in an element is the same for all neutral atom of that element?
Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.
Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
What are neutral atoms?
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
Are atoms life form?
Atoms form all the materials, living or not.
Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?

Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.
What is the charge of a oxygen atom?
ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.
Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
What are the particles found in the nucleus of all atoms?
Protons which are positively charged and neutrons which are neutral.
What has all atoms the same?
All stable Atoms have the same neutral charge, and cannot be divided into smaller units while retaining their chemical identity
Are most atoms neutral?
The atomic nucleus is not neutral, it is positively charged (the exact charge depends upon the element in question; the hydrogen nucleus is +1, the helium nucleus is +2, etc). The atom as a whole is electrically neutral, unless it becomes ionized.
How many protons are there in the lithium?
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
