Atoms are not electrically neutral.
Atoms are partially electrically neutral.
Atoms are electrically neutral.
Atoms are electrically positive.
Atoms are electrically negative.
Atoms are electrically positive.
Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter. An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) surrounded by negatively charged electrons orbiting in energy levels. Because the number of negatively charged electrons is exactly equal to the number of positively charged protons, the net electrical charge of an atom is zero, making atoms as a whole electrically neutral.

Think of an atom like a bank account with equal deposits and withdrawals тАФ if you deposit $100 and immediately spend $100, your net balance is zero, just like an atom with balanced positive and negative charges.
PEN: Proton is Positive, Electron is Negative, Neutral is atom as a whole.
Z=npтАЛ=neтАЛ тАФ Atomic number equals number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom
QnetтАЛ=(+npтАЛimese)+(тИТneтАЛimese)=0 тАФ Net electrical charge of a neutral atom
Inside a neutral atom, every proton carries a positive charge of +1e and every electron carries a negative charge of тИТ1e. The atomic number (Z) represents both the number of protons and the number of electrons in a neutral atom. Thus, the total charge Q=(+number┬аof┬аprotonsimese)+(тИТnumber┬аof┬аelectronsimese)=0.
An atom consists of three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons carry a positive charge and reside inside the nucleus.
Electrons carry a negative charge and revolve around the nucleus in specific orbits or shells.
Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus.
An atom becomes a charged ion only when it gains or loses electrons.
Formation of chemical bonds via electron transfer or sharing
Understanding static electricity and conductivity in materials
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).
C is correct тАФ Atoms as a whole are electrically neutral.
Always remember that while subatomic particles (protons and electrons) carry individual charges, the whole isolated atom has equal numbers of both, resulting in zero net charge.
