Explanation:
The charge of a helium atom is zero
It is neutral because
The number of unit negative charges = number of unit positive charges
One unit negative charge = -1.6 x 10^(-19) which is basically the charge of an electron
One unit positive charge = +1.6 x 10^(-19) which is basically the charge of a proton
A helium atom has 2 protons and 2 electrons, so it is neutral
NOTE: an alpha-particle (He2+) is a charged helium atom it has 2 protons and 0 electrons. Charge of an alpha particle = +3.2 x 10^(-19).
