Because in a normal atom the are there are the same numbers of electrons and protons.

Charge of an electron is 1- and charge of a proton is 1+, thus the overall charge will be zero.

In a neutral atom what are protons?

Protons are in all atoms, neutral or not. They are what makes different elements different, and they represent what positive charge there is in the atom. Atoms are neutral because there are negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus; one electron per proton (for a regular atom), thus balancing out the charge to neutral.
