Atoms are charge neutral because in atoms ____________ .
A.
The number of neutrons and protons is equalB.
Neutron and proton have equal weightC.
Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleusD.
The number of electrons and protons is equalAnswer & Solution
Answer:
The number of electrons and protons is equal
Solution:
Atoms are electrically neutral
because they have
equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively
charged).
If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains
one or more electrons, it now carries a net negative charge, and is thus
"anionic."
