Question

question 7
why would an atom with 11 protons and 11 electrons be neutral?
its electrons are balanced with neutrons
the number of protons and electrons cancel each other out
the atom has a strong nucleus
it has no neutrons to affect the charge
question 8

Explanation:

Protons have a positive charge (\(+1\)) and electrons have a negative charge (\(-1\)). In a neutral atom, the total positive charge from protons must equal the total negative charge from electrons. Here, with 11 protons (\(+11\)) and 11 electrons (\(-11\)), \(+11+(-11) = 0\). Neutrons are neutral (\(0\) charge) and don't affect the overall charge balance. The nucleus strength is not related to charge neutrality in this context.

Answer:

The number of protons and electrons cancel each other out.
