Question

if an atom has no charge or a neutral charge, what can we say about the number of protons and electrons in the atom?
there will be more electrons than protons.
there will be more protons than electrons.
there will be the same number of protons and electrons.

Explanation:

Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. For an atom to be neutral (no overall charge), the positive and negative charges must cancel each other out. This happens when the number of protons (positive charge carriers) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge carriers). If there were more electrons (more negative charge) or more protons (more positive charge), the atom would have a net negative or positive charge respectively.

Answer:

There will be the same number of protons and electrons.
