It is because an atom consists of electrons(negatively charged) and protons(positively charged) and neutrons(no charge), and the no. of electrons and protons are equal. So due to opposite charges between an electron and a proton, an atom has no electric charge or is said to be neutral.
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Protons carry a positive electric charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons, on the other hand, do not carry any electric charge and are considered neutral. This difference in charge is fundamental to the structure of atoms and the behavior of matter in electromagnetic interactions.
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge

electrons
Correct
Electrons.
Cations.
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
The particle with an electric charge is called the proton. It makes up part of an atoms nucleus.
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
