Because the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge).
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
An atom contains positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. Positively charged ions in a solution also contain positive and neutral particles, as they have lost electrons to become positively charged.
Water is electrically neutral because it contains equal numbers of positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) and negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-). These ions balance each other out, resulting in no overall charge in the water molecule.
When positively charged particles and negatively charged particles attract each other, the substance is electrically neutral. This is because the positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in no overall charge.
The troposphere mainly consists of neutral gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Electrically charged particles, called ions, are more commonly found in the upper atmosphere, like the ionosphere, where they play a role in phenomena like auroras and radio wave propagation.

No, humans are not neutrally charged. They are made up of atoms which are electrically neutral, but within the body there are charged particles such as ions which create an overall slight negative charge.
An atom contains positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. Positively charged ions in a solution also contain positive and neutral particles, as they have lost electrons to become positively charged.
Because it contains equal numbers of oppositely charged particles, so the charges cancel each other out. For example a carbon atom has 6 protons (positive) and 6 electrons (negative) 6 - 6 = 0.
An atom can be neutral or electrically charged (anion-negative charge, cation-posititve charge); the electrons are negative charged elementary particles.
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral. It has 12 protons in the nucleus, which are positively charged, and 12 electrons surrounding the nucleus, which are negatively charged. The positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
Yes, electrons are negatively charged particles and therefore have a charge of -1. However, overall, atoms are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons.
Water is electrically neutral because it contains equal numbers of positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) and negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-). These ions balance each other out, resulting in no overall charge in the water molecule.
When positively charged particles and negatively charged particles attract each other, the substance is electrically neutral. This is because the positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in no overall charge.
The positively charged particles in an atom's nucleus are called protons. They carry a relative charge of (+1) which cancels out the charge of (-1) of electrons for an electrically neutral atom.
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
No, NH3 is a neutral molecule.
