Why are a neutral atoms positive and negative charges balanced?

Neutral atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The positive charge of the protons is balanced out by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.

How do atoms remain neutral?

Atoms are neutral as long as they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge.
