Chapter 3.1, Problem 5QQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Why the atom is neutral as a whole has to be chosen from the given options.

Concept Introduction:

Atoms are made up of even smaller particles.  These particles are very small and these are all the building blocks of atoms and they are known as subatomic particles.  Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the subatomic particles that are found in atom.  Electrons possess a negative electrical charge.  Protons possess a positive electrical charge.  Neutrons possess no charge and they are neutral.

If the mass is considered to one unit based on one electron, then the relative mass of a proton is equal to 1837 electrons and neutron is equal to 1839 electrons.  Neutron is slightly higher in mass than that of a proton.
