Question

Please help In a neutral atom, what two subatomic particles must be equal to have the overall charge of the atom be

neutral?

Answer 1

The proton and electrons must be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutral atom is an atom with a 0 charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, so adding them together would be 0. For example, one proton and one electron would be -1+1=0.
