1) Which of the following species is electrically neutral and why ?
N a + ,   C l - ,   K + ,   N a ,   C a + 2

Dear Student,
Na is electrically neutral because the number of protons = number of electrons.
Na has an 23 electrons and 23 protons
While others are charged species, having either excess of electrons(-ve ions) or deficiency of electrons (+ve ions)
Regards!

The answer is Na because it does not have any charge. Na+,Cl -...in these the symbol + or - denotes the charge and tells you if it is cation or anion.

Here, 'Na' or sodium is electrically neutral. It does not have any charge on it. Thus, it is completely neutral. The '+' or '–' sign indicates the presence of charge on an element.
