QUESTION:

Is matter usually charge-neutral? How would matter be different if it were not charge-neutral?

ANSWER:

Solution 7Q

Matter is composed of atom and atom has equal number of protons and electrons. On the other hand, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore, matter is composed of equal number of positively and negatively charged which cancel out each other and resulting charge is equal to zero. Thus matter is neutrally charged.

Charge of Proton = 1+

Charge of electron =1-
