Something is neutral when there are just as many positive charges as negative charges.
A normal atom has just as many positive protons in its nucleus as it has negative electrons orbiting around its nucleus.

An object is electrically neutral when it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a balance of overall charge. This balance occurs when the number of protons (positive charges) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charges) in the object.
When the total charge on an object is zero, the object is electrically neutral. This means it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in no overall charge.
An object without a charge is called electrically neutral.
The charged object will induce opposite charges in the electrically neutral surface due to electrostatic forces. This will result in the redistribution of charges on the surface without physically transferring any charge to it.
When an object has an equal amount of positive and negative charges, it is considered to be electrically neutral. This means that the overall charge of the object is zero.
An electrically charged object has an imbalance of positive or negative charges, while a neutral object has an equal number of positive and negative charges. Charged objects can attract or repel other charged objects due to their electric fields, whereas neutral objects do not exert such forces.
