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.
