Atoms are not always neutral.
A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.
If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".

Atoms are neutral because they contain the same amount of protons as electrons, canceling each other out. This is only true in pure elements because when they bond they get a charge or partial charge.

For the isotope carbon-12: 6 neutrons, 6 protons, 6 electrons
A neutral atom of Carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
There are four electrons in the outer or valence shell of a neutral carbon atom.
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
An ion is charged by definition. A carbon atom itself rarely carries a charge, and generally bonds covalently. It is better thought of as an uncharged atom that bonds by sharing electrons (covalently) rather than by taking or giving them (ionically).
The neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
A. neutral carbon atom
A neutral atom of Carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons
yes
A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
Having 6 protons, the neutral atom of carbon also has 6 electrons.
There are 6 protons in a neutral atom of Carbon 13
A carbon atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons
A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons in the following configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p2
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
An electrically neutral carbon atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons: 6, which is equal to its atomic number.
There are four electrons in the outer or valence shell of a neutral carbon atom.
