Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

  • Atoms of an elements are have the same same properties whereas these properties are different for each element.
  • According to his theory, an atom could not be broken down.
  • Different atoms combine or get separated from each other during a chemical reaction.
