If an atom contains one electron and one proton, will it carry any charge or not?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, the atom will not carry any electric charge. This is because the electron has 1 unit negative charge whereas a proton has an equal and opposite 1 unit positive charge due to which the net charge on the atom is zero.
