Please show each step for calculations. YOU MUST TURN IN THIS SHEET. 1. (a) What does electrically neutral mean

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An atom is said to be electrically neutral, if the said atom contains equal or the same numbers of protons and electrons.

Worthy of note is that most bodies are normally close to being electrically neutral. This is because of the number of electrons on the body being equal to the number of protons on the same body. Charging a body means one would have to transfer electric charge to the body, or from the body. As a result, the number of electrons in the body will no longer be equal to the number of protons on the body.
