Chapter 3.5, Problem 1RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for an atom to have a net zero charge needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Atoms are made up of electron, proton and neutron. Proton and neutron reside inside the nucleus and electrons are surrounded to the nucleus. Atom contains equal number of protons and electrons.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Atom contains equal number of protons and electrons. Proton carries +ve charge and electron carries -ve charge. The negative charge of the electron cancels out the positive charge of the proton and makes the atom neutral. Thus an atom has a net zero charge.
