Beacause atoms contain 3 types of sub atomic particle- protons,neutrons and electrons.

The protons and neutrons are in the neuclius and the electrons are around the outside.

The protons are positivly charged. The neutrons neutral and the electrons negativly charged.

So, the protons and electrons charges cacell each other out. So the atom has no charge overall.

What is charge of an atom?

The charge of an atom is neutral overall, meaning it has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion with a positive or negative charge.
