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?
it is a neutron.
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
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.
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.
An atom with a neutral charge has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). This balance of positive and negative charges results in the overall charge of the atom being zero.
The number of protons equals the number of electrons in an uncharged atom.
To have an equal number of protons and electrons, it has nothing to do with the number of neutrons!
Electrically neutral - uncharged - i.e. not an ion.

Neutrons are Neutral. (They don't have a charge.)

Calcium has twenty electrons in each atom.
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.
