Solution

This statement is incorrect.

  1. The matter is electrically neutral because the number of electrons and the number of protons is always the same in a neutral atom.
  2. Neutralatom=Numberofprotons=Numberofelectrons.
  3. As electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge, they balance each other to become neutral.
