Question

5 multiple choice 5 points electrons are equal to the number of in a neutral atom. electrons protons neutrons

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons (negatively - charged particles) must equal the number of protons (positively - charged particles) to achieve electrical neutrality. Electrons cannot be equal to themselves in this context (it's a redundant and incorrect statement for the problem's meaning). Neutrons are neutral particles and do not contribute to the charge balance in the way that protons do for electrons in a neutral atom.

Answer:

Protons
