Question

ujjwal · Answer

Do you know what are the charges of electron, proton and neutron?

anonymous · Answer

Yes but when it comes to the number of each in an atom I get confused.

ujjwal · Answer

Add all charges.

asadkarim7 · Answer

protons are positively charged , neutrons are neutral and electrons are negatively charged 
the protons =3
the electrons =3 
3+(-3)=0
so no charge
the atom has neutral charge

anonymous · Answer

if u specified an atom its neutal by nature... however if its nuclear charge then its = 3 times charge of a proton.

anonymous · Answer

Oh so it would be 3 positive minus 3 due to negative charges and neautral has no charge so it's 0. I get it. Thanks guys.
