Well, since the question stresses the word "neutral" it's safe to assume that the answer they're looking for is "equal numbers of protons and electrons"; or further, "14 protons and 14 electrons".
An atom is neutral when the number of electrons balances the number of protons. Because the positive charge of a proton cancels out the negative charge of an electron, equal numbers cause the particle to have no net charge - neutral.

What is neutral silicone?

Neutral silicone is a type of sealant or adhesive that cures to form a flexible and durable rubber-like material. It is called "neutral" because it does not produce any acidic by-products during curing, making it safe to use on a variety of materials like glass, metal, and plastic. Neutral silicone is commonly used in construction, plumbing, and automotive applications for sealing joints and gaps.
