What increases on a atom when neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom when its neutral?

When neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom, the number of protons remains the same, so the atomic number stays constant. However, the mass number of the atom increases because neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom without affecting its charge.
