The charge of a proton is equal in magnitude to the charge of an electron, but a proton has a positive charge and an electron has a negative charge. The number of protons in an atom is equal to its number of electrons, so the atom has no net charge.

Atoms are composed of proton(positively charged particles), electrons(negatively charged particles) and neutrons(particles with no charge). The atom's nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which is surrounded by electrons. So the charge on the nucleus is positive, and the charge on the electron "cloud" is negative. Therefore, the charge of the protons cancles out the charge on the electrons producing a net charge of zero.

Hi. Yes. The positively charges protons are balance by the negatively charges electrons one for one.

Its kinda like postive and negitive numbers...
-1+1=0
1 electron+1 proton=neutral charge
-2+3=+1
2 electrons +3 protons= postive chaarge of 1
they counterreact with each other, to wipe each other out
hope I helped

The question is how do you define an electrical charge ? arent all mass structures charged?

be conscious that technology solutions to the question of the binding tension of an atom are "the tension" and gluons (glue-ons). appears like some physicists have been given caught attempting to describe a undertaking with the help of inventing a proof with a stars wars reference and glue....
