What is a neutral charge?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of what a neutral charge is, which is a concept in physics related to the balance of positive and negative charges in an atom or particle.
Answer
An equal number of protons and electrons in an atom.
A neutral charge is the state in which an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no net electric charge.
Answer for screen readers
A neutral charge is the state in which an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no net electric charge.
More Information
An atom in a neutral charge state is neither positively nor negatively charged because the positive charges (protons) balance out the negative charges (electrons).
Tips
Avoid confusing neutral charge with the absence of charge; it means balanced charges.
