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


Answer :

No, the atom will be electrically neutral as a whole because proton is a positively charged particle and an electron is a negatively charged particle and thus the net charge becomes neutral as both the particles of equal magnitude and opposite nature neutralizes each other.
