A neutral atom has no electrical charge on it. So the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding it. In their normal, elemental state, all atoms are neutral. If it's in an ionised solution, say, then it's not neutral.

I think there's something more to your question, though. Why are you asking - is there a situation or a kind of atom that you are thinking of?

What is uncharged atom?

One where the number of protons (+) equal the number of electrons (-). one were the proton cancels out the electrons Ex. -5 +5 makes 0 uncharged atoms


How many electrons does an uncharged atom of palladium have?

An uncharged atom of palladium has 46 electrons. This is because the atomic number of palladium is 46, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

Is the number of protons equal to the number of ions in a uncharged atom?

No, there is no requirement that the number of protons equal the number of neutrons. In fact, this gives rise to the various isotopes of a given element (Different isotopes will have different numbers of neutrons, while sharing the same number of protons). The number of protons is what generally defines an element. By being "uncharged" the atom is understood to have the same number of electrons as protons. Neutrons, being neutral, do not carry charge.


What scientific element has 20 electrons?

Does the number of proton in an uncharged atom equil to number of electron in the orbital shells?

Yes, in an uncharged atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons occupying the orbital shells around the nucleus. This balance of positive protons and negative electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.
