Use the simulation to balance the charge. (make the net charge zero)

What part of an atom has a negative charge?

1

Lithium has 3 protons (+) charges. How many electrons (-) must be added to make it neutral?

1

Electrons are on the outer shells of an atom and balance its charge.

In order for the charge to be balanced the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
