Answer: 57

Explanation: Because the atom is neutral, it’s #e= Protons + zero charge (for all neutral atoms)

Hence, #e= 57+0=57 electrons

An electrically neutral atom  have  57 protons  so it will be having 57 electrons .

What do you mean by electrically neutral atom ?

An atom is electrically neutral when  the overall charge of an atom is zero. The atoms are made of three subatomic particles called protons, electrons and neutrons.

Protons are positively charged particles, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral.

The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons due to which positive and negative charge cancels each other out.

According to the question,

Because the atom is neutral , it’s

Electrons= Protons + zero charge (for all neutral atoms)

Hence,

Electrons= 57+0

=57 electrons

Hence, an electrically neutral atom  have  57 protons  so it will be having 57 electrons .
