Ionic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral, neither positive nor negative, due to presence of both positive and negative ions which cancel out.
A proton is positive, an electron is negative, and a neutron is neutral.
Positive
Positive, negative, neutral
Electrically Neutral
no, as ionic compounds contain equal amounts of negative and positive charges and are neutral.
The equal number of positive and negative electrical charges.

The negative and positive charges are neutralized each other.

To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
I was pretty sure it was positive. However, according to Edge 2020, it is negative.
Neutral
