An atom of Cabon has 6 protons and 6 electrons!
Protons are +1 charged and electrons are -1 charged
Carbon is element # 6, it has 6 protons ans 6 electrons which means +6 + -6 which equals 0 (neutral)
Each atom of every element has an equal number of protons and electrons.
However, when an atom of chlorine gets close enough to an atom of sodium, chlorine will attract 1 electron of the sodium atom forming Na+1 and Cl -1 ions of salt, and the NaCl is still neutral!!
You ask why, I answered how.
The answer to why are they neutral is otherwise we would not exist!!
If atoms and molecules and ionic crystals such as salt had unbalanced charges, the world would be unstable!!
What else can I help you with?
How many protons are in argon?
18 when neutrally charged.18 protons, 22 neutrons and 18 electrons. See the periodic table of elements, e.g. in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table#Methods_for_displaying_the_periodic_table
Are protons neutrally charged?
No they are negatively charged, nuetrons are nuetral, protons are positive, not all atoms have nuetrons
Is hydrogen neutrally charged?
Yes. Any element on its own will be electrically neutral. However, "neutrally charged" is something of an oxymoron as the term "neutral" means that there is no net charge.
What is the neutrally charged particle of the atom?
Neutrally charged particles in an atom are known as neutrons.
Are humans neutrally charged?
No, humans are not neutrally charged. They are made up of atoms which are electrically neutral, but within the body there are charged particles such as ions which create an overall slight negative charge.
What are some everyday examples of an object that is neutrally charged?
Batteries...I'm guessing because batteries are usually used every day.
Neutrally charged subatomic particle?
Neutrons are neutrally charged subatomic particles.
What happens when a positively charged rod is put near a neutrally charged object?
Today all elements up to atomic number 98 may be considered as natural elements.

Are compounds neutrally charged?
Yes, compounds are electrically neutral. Though the term "neutrally charged" is self contradicting as something that is neutral has no charge.
Are electrons neutrally charged?
No they arnt
What kind of charged does an atom have?
Atoms are neutrally, positively, or negatively charged.
What happens to a neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
