Answer:

Bonjour à toi,

QUESTION)

An electrically neutral object does not mean that it has no electrical charge. If today we find some elementary particles without electric charge (Higgs Boson, photon and gluon), the neutrality of the atom and molecules, or more globally of matter is due to various processes. An atom is electrically neutral because the electric charges that compose it compensate each other (as much negative charge, the electron, as positive, the proton). Ionic molecules arrange themselves so that the electric charges that compose them compensate each other.
