Numerically, it is one to one, but it takes about 1,800 electrons to equal the mass of one proton.

Protons are positively charged particles and electrons are negatively charged particles.

For every (+) proton in a complete atom's nucleus there is an equivalent (-) electron in the atoms electron shells, such that the atom is electrically neutral.

Should the atom lose or gain an electron, it becomes positively or negatively charged (respectively) and is then called an Ion.

Why is the atom electrically neutral?

it is neutral because there are the same numbers of protons and electrons in an atom so the positive charge of the proton balances out the negative charge of an electron

Why atom is neutral particle?

Because proton and nelutron present in nucleus with charges positive and negative while neutron have no charge and proton and electron have same in numbers and the ratio have between electron and is zero. For.eg magnesium have 12 atomic number and proton and are also 12 in magnesium there ratio is 1:1
