What is neutrally charged?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about entities that are neutrally charged, which typically refers to atoms or particles that have an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net charge of zero. The focus seems to be on understanding the concept of electrical charge balance.
Answer
An atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons.
A neutrally charged atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Answer for screen readers
A neutrally charged atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
More Information
In a neutrally charged atom, the positive charges from protons and the negative charges from electrons cancel each other out, resulting in no overall charge.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing a neutral charge with a lack of particles. A neutral charge requires an equal number of positive and negative charges.
