Question

if atoms are neutral, what can be inferred about the number of protons and electrons in an atom? there are no protons or electrons. there are more protons than electrons. there are more electrons than protons. the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are positively - charged and electrons are negatively - charged. For an atom to be neutral, the positive and negative charges must balance out. So, the number of protons (positive charges) must equal the number of electrons (negative charges).

Answer:

The number of protons equals the number of electrons.
