Question

A normal atom is electronically ** (positive/negative/neutral) because the number of ** (protons/neutrons/electrons), each with a positive charge, equals the number of ** (protons/neutrons/electrons), each with a negative charge.

The answers to multiple choice questions are in parentheses​

Answer 1

(neutral)

(protons)

(electrons)

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrons have a negative charge (-) while protons have a positive (+) charge.

Atoms will usually be neutral, which means that there will be no charge.

For an atom to have a neutral charge, protons and electrons must "cancel" each other out. For this to happen, you need to have the same amount of each.

Positive will "cancel" out the negative.
