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.
The Electrons and the Protons.
No, as t is less electronegative it has a partial positive charge.
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.
The proton is the particle that has a positive charge. The neutron is the particle that has a neutral charge. both of these reside in the nucleus of an atom.

A "normal" atom has not an electrical charge; ions have a charge.
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.
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
A fluorine atom has a negative electrical charge of -1 due to its 9 protons and 10 electrons.
Neutron .
The Electrons and the Protons.
The atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
Gained or lost electron(s).
No, as t is less electronegative it has a partial positive charge.
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.
Any ion.
