Because the number of positive charges (protons) equals the number of negative charges (electrons), all of which have the same magnitude. Strictly, you mean no NET charge. Clearly it has charges.

Are atoms neutral and don't have a charge?

A "normal" atom has not an electrical charge; ions have a charge.


What number is always equal to what so that an atom has no electrical charge in its normal state?

An atom with no electrical charge in its normal state has an equal number of protons and electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is the atomic number, which is the same as the number of electrons in a neutral atom.


Does an atom have an electric charge?

If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.

Does the carbon atom have the delta negative charge in the carbon-chlorine bond?

No, as t is less electronegative it has a partial positive charge.


What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?

The overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms would be -2. This is because carbon has an oxidation state of +4 and each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, resulting in a total charge of -2 for the entire molecule.
