Question

If atoms are electrically neutral then how do they form bonds?​

Answer 1

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds

Answer 2

The nucleus contains neutrons and protons; protons carry the positive charge. The shells contain electrons which carry the negative charge. So, how can the atom be changed. ... Covalent bonds are electrically neutral because they are not formed due to the transfer of electrons but sharing of electrons.
