Best Answer

In their ground state, atoms are overall electrically neutral because the number of electrons matches the number of protons, being of equal and opposite charge. This reflects a much large phenomenon in the universe of charges occurring or being generated in pairs, which is itself a kind of symmetry. There are of course exceptions to this symmetry and many nuances related to behaviors of positive and negative charges, but generally, because both particles are tied up in atoms and the rules of electromagnetic interaction govern the structure of bonding between atoms and matter on larger scales, the presence of both in approximately equal amounts means that matter itself doesn't evidence a fundamentally negative charge.
