Atoms have negatively charged particles called electrons and positively charged particles called protons . If an atom loses an electron it has a positive electric charge. If it gains an electron it has a negative electrice charge .Which integer would represant the electric change of an atom that has an equal number of electrons and protons

0 integer

Step-by-step explanation:

When the atom has the equal number of electrons and protons the total charge on the atom is zero. It does not have negative or positive charge. the integer 0 indicates that the atom has equal number of electrons and protons and has no charge on it.

The change of electric charge on the atom is represented by a positive or negative number .

When the atom losses an  electron a positive charge is obtained depending on the number of electrons lost . But when the atom gains an electron the atom has a negative charge . Again the number of negative charges depends on the number of electrons gained.

Sodium has 11 electrons and 11 protons. But if it losses an electron it gains a single + charge.
