BALANCED ATOMS
Atoms normally have an equal number of electrons and protons.

Atoms have no electrical charge. They are neither positive nor negative. They are electrically neutral or BALANCED.The negative charge of the electrons will cancel the positive charge of the protons, thus balancing the charge of the atom.

This cancellation of charges creates a natural attraction or bonding between the positive proton and the negative electron.
