Question

There are equal numbers of protons and electrons in neutral atoms.

Answer 1

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms are electrically neutral because there are an equal number of protons in the nucleus and In the cloud around the nucleus. So, a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons (charges cancel each other out).

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

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
