When this element has no overall charge it has electrons which carry a negative charge and are found outside the nucleus?

When an element has no overall charge, it is electrically neutral, meaning the number of protons in its nucleus equals the number of electrons surrounding it. The electrons, which carry a negative charge, occupy various energy levels or orbitals outside the nucleus. This balance of protons and electrons ensures that the element does not exhibit a net charge. The arrangement of these electrons determines the element's chemical properties and reactivity.
