Each electron contributes a charge of -1 elementary charge; each proton a charge of +1. In a neutral atom, there is the same amount of protons and electrons; in this case, the charges cancel, and (to the outside), the total charge is zero. If an atom has more or less electrons than protons, it DOES have an electrical charge; those atoms are called "ions".
