Question

Why is the charge of an atom always neutral?

A. same number of protons and neutrons
B. same number of neutrons and electrons
C. equal number of protons, neutrons, and electrons at all times
D. same number protons and electrons

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons of an atom

Answer 2

Answer: The charge of an atom always is neutral because protons and electrons always have the same quantity.

Explanation: Think about it in a simpler way; protons have the word “pro” which refers to positivity, and electrons have a negative charge. Despite this difference, they always have the same number. Neutrons have a base word of “neutral” and are neutrally charged.

Final answer: Answer D.) “same number protons and electrons” is correct.
