Why is the overall charge on an atom neutral?

The overall charge on a neutral atom is zero.

A neutral atoms contains equal number of electrons and protons.The charge of a proton and electron is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. A proton has a charge of 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C and the charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C. Thus in a neutral atom, the charge of all the protons gets cancelled with the charge of all the electrons.

Thus a neutral atom has a net zero charge.

it will be pushed away from the source of the electric field. a negative charge in a cloud induces a positive charge in the ground below the cloud.

explanation:

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.
