No it is not. It just means it has a neutral charge. Eg. a charge of 2+ and 2- would have a neutral charge.

Do neutrons and hydrogen atoms have the same charge?
No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
What does it mean if an entire atom has a neutrual charge?
If an atom has an overall neutral charge this means that the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons in the atom. Take a transition element as an example say Titanium which has an atomic value of 22 meaning it has 22 protons and 22 electrons as protons are positive and electrons are negative the overall charge is neutral.
Is an ion the same as a Neutral atom?
Ions have positive or negative charges. A neutral atom would have a charge of zero. So, no, they are not the same.
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have the same number of?
It has the same number of protons and electrons. Because protons have got positive charges while the electrons have got negative charges, so if their amount is the same, the atom will be a neutral one.
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and electrons?
Yes, protons always have a positive charge.
Do neutrons and hydrogen atoms have the same charge?
No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
What is the small particle of an atom which carries a neutral charge?
I think you mean a neutron. We don't say 'a neutral charge', but rather that it has no charge.
How can you figure out the number of electrons an atom has if it has a neutral charge?
The number of electrons should be the same amount as the protons if there is neutral charge
What is the charge of atom with the same number of protons and electrons?
0 -- neutral -- no charge
In atoms with the same number of electrons and protons. what is the charge?
There is no charge. The atom is neutral.
What happens when a neutron is added to a neutral atom?
well, since a neutron = 0 charge placed into a neutral which is has no charge, it stays the same.
What does the word neutral mean for the kinds of charge an atom has?
An atom that has a neutral charge is one with which the quantity of electrons is equal to the atomic number.
Are neutron and electron have the same charge yes or no?
No, neutrons have a neutral charge and electrons have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge.
What is the charge of an atom with the same number of protons and electrons?
Neutral.
What have an electric charge?
it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
What does an electric charge have?
it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
What does neutral electricity mean?
When something is electrically neutral it has neither a positive nor a negative charge.
