Question

What’s needed to build a neutral atom?

Answer 1

What makes up a neutral atom
You ask?

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.

Hope this helped

Answer 2

Protons, neutrons, and electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

An atom contains protons, neutrons and electrons (there needs to be an equal amount of protons and electrons for the atom to be neutral. In the instance where protons and electrons are not equal to each other, you will have an ion). The name of the atom determines how many of these particles would be present, and the number of these particles determine what group of the periodic table it will be in (if an atom has 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons, the atom is sodium and will be placed in group 1).
