protons and electrons.
protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge (neutral).
so when you have the same number of positive (protons) and negative (electrons), the net charge is nothing. example: 2 + (-2) = 2-2 = 0

An atom with a neutral charge has the same number of protons and electrons because the positive charge on the proton is counteracted by the negative charge of the electron.

A complete, or neutral, atom, has the same number of negatively-charged electrons as positively-charged protons.
So the answers would be protons and electrons.

Protons and Electrons.
The Proton carries a positive charge and the Electron an equal and opposite negative one. For the charge to be neutral these two must number the same.

protons = +
electrons = -
neutrons = 0
protons & electrons (positive + negative = 0)
