Positive charges are in protons and negative charges are in electrons. Neutron have neutral charges. In an atom the nucleus has protons and neutrons in it with a positive charge overall. Around the nucleus are electrons in orbitals, probable electron locations, they have a negative charge so the overall charge of an atom is neutral because the number of electrons and the number of protons are equal which is also the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons in an atom subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. These values can be found on the Periodic Table of elements.
