Question

For an atom to be neutral the amount of ? and? must be equal

Answer 1

Answer: Well first of all, for an Atom to be neutral, it shall have an equal number of the protons and the neutrons. So given that, the protons are able to be positively charged and since the electrons are negatively charged (Protons and Electrons are completely different from each other) then that means the Algebric are aggregated of charges because it equal to zero. So overall, the 'neutral atom' has to be neutral, and how? Protons must equal the number of electrons or else it wouldn't be considered neutral.

Hopefully this helps you very much!! :-) Have a great daayy!

Answer 2

Answer:

For an atom to be neutral, it must have an equal number of protons and electrons. Since, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, then their algebric sum of charges is equal to zero.
