Question

If an atom has no charge or a
neutral charge, what can we
say about the subatomic
particles in the atom?
A. There will be the same number of
protons and neutrons, but a different!
number of electrons.
B. There will be the same number of
electrons and neutrons, but a different
number of protons.
C. There will be the same number of
protons and electrons.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. There will be the same number of

protons and electrons.

Explanation:

Protons, represented by (+), have a positive charge.

Electrons, represented by (-), have a negative charge.

Neutrons, represented by (0), have no charge.

Any number of neutrons you have, they don't affect the charge.

If you have more protons than electrons, the charge will be positive.

If you have more electrons than protons, the charge will be negative.

When you have an equal number of the two, the charge is neutral.
