Source sentences:
text: If the number of protons and electrons are equal, then the atom is electrically neutral.
text: All other known types of radiation were stopped by the lead, and therefore, Chadwick reasoned that this particle must be neutral in charge.
text: Atoms are electrically neutral if they have an equal number of protons and electrons.
text: In 1903, Thomson proposed a model of the atom consisting of positive and negative charges, present in equal amounts so that an atom would be electrically neutral.
text: Atoms of matter are electrically neutral because their nuclei contain the same number of protons as there are electrons surrounding the nuclei.
text: When one says an atom is electrically neutral, it means that the number of electrons equal the number of positive charges on the nucleus.
text: The number of electrons were equal to the number of protons and therefore, an atom is electrically neutral.
text: Until Rutherford’s efforts, a popular model of the atom had been the so-called “plum-pudding” model, advocated by the English physicist Joseph John Thomson, which held that each atom consists of a number of electrons (plums) embedded in a gel of positive charge (pudding); the total negative charge of the electrons exactly balances the total positive charge, yielding an atom that is electrically neutral.
text: The positive and negative charge is equal in magnitude and therefore an atom has no charge as a whole and is electrically neutral.
text: An atom is electrically neutral - has no overall electrical charge .
text: (−1) = 0 charge – in other words, the atom must be neutral, or have no charge at all.
text: Based on the fact that atoms are neutral, and based on J. J. Thomson's discovery that atoms contain negative subatomic particles called "electrons", scientists assumed that atoms must also contain a positive substance.
text: These particles were electrically neutral and called neutrons.
