why do atoms have an overall neutral charge?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer my question!!!!!!

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

because the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to number of electrons (negative charge)..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much yo just helped me A my test

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Atoms don't necessarily have a neutral charge. If you were, for example to take an electron from a carbon atom, it would still be a carbon atom...with a positive charge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

atoms contain electrons(-ve charged) and proton(+ve charge) in equal no....it also contain neutron,but its chrage is zero...hence its net overall charge is zero...and is neutral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay im done with this question can u answer the other one please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya ask

OpenStudy (anonymous):

proton

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ___ tells the number of protons an electron contains????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it says how mch protons does an atom of any elemnt contain...smetime proton no. may not be equal to electron..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ___ tells the number of protons an element contains?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

atomic no. of an elemnt..
