The ions that bond are charged, but the compound formed is neutral because the charges of the ions cancel each other.
Yes, matter is usually charge-neutral due to protons and electrons having opposite charges.
The compounds themselves are no charged. The chlorine itself, though, takes on a 1- charge.
Because if its valence electron has 3 protons on the outer shell, then it'll stay charged even though the ions that bond are charged.
NaCl, table salt is neutral as an compound though it is made of.the cation,Na +and the anion,Cl -But put NaCl in solution and....Na +andCl -are now disassociated and charged ions and anything but neutral.So, in solution charged atoms, usually ( some ionic compounds are not that soluble ) and as a crystal structure, table salt, neutral.

Yes, compounds are electrically neutral. Though the term "neutrally charged" is self contradicting as something that is neutral has no charge.

Because the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge).
Ionic compounds are neutral because the total positive charge and the total negative charge are equal but opposite, so the overall charge is zero. Take sodium chloride as an example. Na+ + Cl- ---> NaCl The sodium ion has a charge of 1+ and the chloride ion has a charge of 1-, so simple addition tells us that 1+ + 1- = 0

Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.
