Structure of the Atom

NCERT In Text

If an atom contains one electron and one proton, will it carry any charge or not?

An electron is a negatively charged particle, whereas a proton is a positively charged particle. The magnitude of their charges is equal. Therefore, an atom containing one electron and one proton will not carry any charge. Thus, it will be a neutral atom.
