An atom is the basic building block of matter and the smallest unit of a
chemical element that retains its chemical properties.

Valance Electrons

The diagram shows 3 electrons – which carries negative


charge and 3 protons- which carry positive charges. So
they cancel out each other, leaving a net charge of zero.
This make the atom electrically neutral.
