The individual particles may be charged. Each electron has a charge of -1, and each proton +1.
But if the atom has the same number of electrons as protons, then there is no overall charge on the atom.
It is a bit like having a bank account. Over a month, say, you may put in $200 (call it a positive of 200) and take out $200 (negative 200). But over the whole month the balance is zero.
Positive, Neutral, or Negative Positively charged particles are protons Negatively charged particles are electrons Neutrally charged or no charge particles are neutrons
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles.

Neutrons do not have a positive or negative charge. They are one of the three basic subatomic particles, along with protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged), that make up an atom. The neutron has a neutral charge.
Particles with no charge are called neutral particles. Examples of neutral particles include neutrons, photons, and neutrinos. These particles do not have a positive or negative charge, making them electrically neutral.

Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles.
An atom can be neutral or electrically charged (anion-negative charge, cation-posititve charge); the electrons are negative charged elementary particles.
Electrons are negative, protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.
Protons - Positive Electrical Charge Electrons - Negative Electrical Charge Neutrons - Neutral or No Charge
because in their neutral state the number of positive particles is equal to the number of negative particles and the magnitude of a single positive charge is the same as the magnitude of a single negative charge in short the positive and negative charges cancel each other out
The answer is in the names of the particles. The Neutron is neutral. The Electron is negative. The Proton is positive.
the no of positive charges are equal to negative charges (protons = electrons) in any neutral atom.
An atom contains charged particles called protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. Protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
protons-positive neutrons-neutral electrons-negative
The Atom is neutral because the charged particles sum to zero,m thus neutral. The positive charges are in the nucleus and the negative particles are the electrons. The sum is zero and the atom is neutral.
A proton is positive, an electron is negative, and a neutron is neutral.
