What will be the electric charge of an atom if there are protons, neurons, electron?

Open in App

Solution

Proton has 1 positive charge
electron has 1 negative charge
neutron has no charge
so since proton and electron have equal and opposite charge ,they cancel each other
...so the atom has no charge or they are electrically neutral
