A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, which balances the positive and negative charges. This balance results in no overall electric charge for the atom. For example, a carbon atom has six protons and six electrons, making it neutral. The number of neutrons can vary, leading to different isotopes of the same element, but they do not affect the atom's charge.
