An equal number of protons and electrons, because electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**An equal number of protons and electrons, because electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged.**

This balance results in an atom that has no overall electrical charge.
