They acquire a charge from somewhere else.
Any atom is neutral in the normal state.After loss or gain of electrons an atom become electrically charged.
An electrically neutral atom is one that has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Yes. Atoms have protons (positive charges) and electrons (negative charges). However, quite often it is the negative charges (the electrons) that carry the current. In any case, the net charge in a conductor is usually zero (it is neutral) - the electrons simply go in one end and out the other, but the total number of electrons will doesn't change in normal circumstances, whether there is a current or not.
An atom has the same number of positive protons and negative electrons so the charges balance out to zero
They acquire a charge from somewhere else.
because if they weren't, they would rapidly attract opposite charges and become neutral.
An object with equal amounts of positive and negative charge is electrically neutral.

A neutral atom, in order to be neutral, has the same number of protons and electrons. If the atom gains or loses an electron, or more than one, it will become electrically charged.
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral.
Yes Potassium is electrically neutral.
Water is an electrically neutral substance.
Electrically polarized objects have had their charges separated, so one side will be positive, and the other side will be negative.
When it is electrically neutral, it has 47 electrons.
The meaning of electrically neutral is without any electrical charge.
