Question

What are electrically neutral particles?

Answer 1

When an atom is electrically neutral, it means that the overall charge of the atom is zero. Atoms are made up of positively charged particles called protons and negatively charged particles called electrons as well as non-charged particles called neutrons. The charge from a proton or electron are of equal strength, therefore if an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it will be electrically neutral.
