Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons negatively charged and neutrons have no charge. Since the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in any given atom, the overall charge of the atom is neutral (negative charge of one electron cancels the positive charge of one proton) Atoms that are positively charged (cations) have lost one or more electron(s). Atoms that are negatively charged (anions) have gained one or more electrons.
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
It depends on which neutrality one is referring to. Regarding ions: an atom in its "normal" state, it has the same amount of electrons as protons and is electrically neutral. In case of electron(s) moving to make a "full electron shell", charge changes to positive or negative, thus non-neutral, and called ion instead.
A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons.
To have a neutral atom, the atom must have the same amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons inside of it.
It is neutral because it has 11 positive protons and 11 negative electrons, balancing the overall electrical charge.
Yes, an electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. When these charges are balanced, the atom as a whole is neutral.

There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
In an neutral atom, the number of protons and the electrons are the same
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
Neon has ten electrons and as a Nobel gas is generally neutral
The neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
