Atoms are composed of three main particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. We know that, the electrons are negatively charged particles whereas protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge.

Hence, as the number of electrons and protons are equal and they are oppositely charged, the atom will have no charge as their charges cancel each other.

An atom that loses or gains electrons is called as ion. Gaining of electron is negative charge and is called as Anion and lossing of eectron is called Cation.
