An atom is neutral because it has the same number of protons as electrons. In an atom, protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. If there is an unequal number of protons and electrons, there will be a slight charge, and the atom will bond with other charged atoms until the electrons and protons are equal.
