Atoms are neutral because they contain the same amount of protons and electrons. An electrically charged particle called an ion is produced when electrons are removed from a neutral atom to give a positive charge or when electrons are added to a neutral atom to give a negative charge. Since the number of protons and electrons are the same, the electric charges cancel one another making the atom neutral.
