An atom is considered to be ____________ when the number of protons and electrons are equal.
- A Positive
- B Negative
- C Neutral
- D None of the above
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
An atom is considered to be neutral when the number of protons and electrons are equal. In an atom, protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. The positive charge of the protons is balanced out by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
