B. Have neutrons in their nuclei.

C. Have an equal number of electrons and protons

D. Have an equal number of neutrons and protons

Respuesta :

Answer choice c is the correct choice

Atoms have no electric charge because they have an equal number of electrons and protons.

Explanation:

  • Atom is the smallest unit of matter.
  • It is comprised of three subatomic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons.
  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus of an atom and are negatively charged.
  • Protons are found inside the nucleus of an atom and are positively charged.
  • Neutrons are found inside the nucleus of an atom and have no charge.
  • They are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of protons and electrons.

So from this, we can conclude that atoms have no electric charge because they have an equal number of electrons and protons. Option C is correct.
