Protons have a + charge, electrons - . The atom is neutral so + = - or 49 electrons.

it has 49 electrons electrons are negatively charged and 1 electron cancels 1 proton

the same amount, 49 to be neutral. If more or less, then its positively or negatively charged

if it is neutral it has the same - otherwise it would be positively charged with more protrons and negatively charged with more electrons - electrons are negatve charges and protrons are positively charged - if they are equal in number they balance out and the charge is neutral
