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.

What is symbol and charge for carbon?
Carbon's symbol is C. A carbon atom has no charge, but a carbon ion has a +2 charge.
What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?
Carbon as an atom has no charge, as all atoms are neutral particles. This is because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons, so the carbon atom has no charge.
What is the charge of an unbonded atom?
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge?
The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.
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?
Electrons are equal to atomic number to have no net charge on an 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.
What is symbol and charge for carbon?
Carbon's symbol is C. A carbon atom has no charge, but a carbon ion has a +2 charge.
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
What is the electrical charge of a fluorine atom?
-1 charge
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is an atom that has an electrical charge?
Neutron .
What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?
Carbon as an atom has no charge, as all atoms are neutral particles. This is because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons, so the carbon atom has no charge.
What is the charge of an unbonded atom?
There is no net electrical charge on an "unreacted" atom.
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
Is an atom with the same number of electrons and protons the electrical charge is?
The atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
