A normal atom is electronically ** (positive/negative/neutral) because the number of ** (protons/neutrons/electrons), each with
a positive charge, equals the number of ** (protons/neutrons/electrons), each with a negative charge. The answers to multiple choice questions are in parentheses
Electrons have a negative charge (-) while protons have a positive (+) charge.
Atoms will usually be neutral, which means that there will be no charge.
For an atom to have a neutral charge, protons and electrons must "cancel" each other out. For this to happen, you need to have the same amount of each.
