Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	equal strength and opposite charge
B	equal strength and same charge
C	unequal strength and opposite charge
D	unequal strength and same charge

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A proton and an electron have an equal amount but an opposite type of charge. Thus, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite.

Detailed explanation-3: -They both carry an electrical charge. Protons have a positive charge (+) and electrons have a negative charge (-). The positive charge of the protons is equal to the negative charge of the electrons. Opposite charges attract each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -An atom is said to be electrically neutral because the positive charge is balanced by negative charge as the no.of positive charges are equal to no.of negative Charge. Negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude means with out considering the charge the number of electron and proton is same in an atom.
