Question

Atom as a whole is electrically neutral. Justify.

✓

Answer

The magnitude of electronic charge (e) on the nucleus is +Ze and that of outer sphere is -Ze. Number of protons and number of electrons are always equal in an atom.
As a result of this, the charges get nullified, therefore, the atom as a whole is electrically neutral.
