Why atom is electrically neutral?

Description : Why atom is electrically neutral? 

Last Answer : Atom of an element is electrically neutral because it contains equal number of proton & electrons. In other words in an atom of an element number of positive charges (protons) are equal to number of ... (electrons) . Hence they cancel each other & as a result atom becomes charge-less or neutral.
