An atom is neutral, or has no charge. This is because the protons (+vely charged particles) in the nucleus cancel out the electrons (-vely charged particles) surrounding the nucleus, because there are an equal number of protons and electrons in an atom.

Usually delocalized across more than one atom in the ion. Example: NO3-. The negative charge is shared equally across all three oxygen atoms.
