Positive, Negative and No Charge

 
A proton is a part of an atom that is positively charged. An electron is a part of an atom that is negatively charged. A neutron is a part of an atom that has no charge. Within the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit around the outside of the nucleus. In an atom, the amount of neutrons is usually the same amount of electrons with makes the atom electrically neutral. This happens because opposite charges attract to one another. And same charges repel one another. There is no reaction when two neutral charges are near one another.

  4. Very informative, but i think you meant # protons = # electrons which makes it electrically neutral, unless you meant something else
