Answer
An atom has protons (positively charged) and neutrons (no charge) inside its nucleus at the centre around which the electrons (negatively charged) revolve in different orbits. The nucleus is positively charged. The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons. Hence, the atom is electrically neutral.
