b. 1 proton, 2 electrons, and 3 neutrons.
c. 3 protons, 1 electron, and 3 neutrons.
d. 3 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.

Answer 1

An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has a. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.

To be neutral an atom must have the same number of protons (+) and electrons (-).

Only then will the charges cancel and give a neutral atom.
