How is ion produce?

Ionic bonds form during chemical changes when atoms pull electrons away from other atoms. The atoms that lose electrons form ions that have fewer electrons than protons. So, an ion would be produced by an atom or a group of atoms that gained or lost one or more of its electrons.

Atoms have no overall electric charge?

No.  Atoms can indeed have an overall charge.  They can be positive, wherein they have a deficit of electrons, or they can be negative, wherein they have a surplus of electrons.  This is called an ionic state.
