Best Answer

It depends on what you mean by what parts are equal. Protons and electrons both have the same magnitude of charge with opposite signs and electrons are much less massive than protons. Protons and neutrons are approximately equal in mass but protons have a charge of +e Coulombs while neutrons have a charge of 0. Atoms can often exist with unequal numbers of protons and electrons. Such atoms are called ions and have a negative charge if they have more electrons than protons and positive charge if they have more protons than electrons.

Why does a free atom have no electrical charge?

A free atom has no electrical charge because it has an equal number of protons and electrons. Each proton has a single positive charge, and each electron has a single negative charge. These balance each other and the result is a net neutral atom (or no net charge).


How is an atom's atomic number related to its number of proton's?

An atom's atomic number IS the number of protons it has. The number of protons and electrons are equal to each other also. Illustrate and explain why?

What does neutral atom have equal number of?

a neutrally charged atom has an equal number of both protons and neutrons, making the positive and negative charges the same. for example, in a neutrally charged atom, there would be 1 neutron and 1 proton.
