Diagram showing field lines and equipotentials around an electron, a negatively charged particle. In an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons (which are positively charged), resulting in a net zero overall charge. Charge is the fundamental property of forms of matter that exhibit electrostatic attraction or repulsion in the presence of other matter.
Following electron capture, the atomic number is reduced by one, the neutron number is increased by one, and there is no change in atomic mass. Simple electron capture results in a neutral atom, since the loss of the electron in the electron shell is balanced by a loss of positive nuclear positive charge.imple electron capture results in a neutral atom, since the loss of the electron in the electron shell is balanced by a loss of positive nuclear positive charge.
