If an atom has the same number of electrons surrounding its nucleus as it has protons, the atom is considered to be electrically neutral. A simple example of this neutrality is with the Hydrogen atom which only has one proton (+) and one electron (-). The opposing charges from these particles create an electrically neutral atom.

If an atom has the same number of electrons surrounding its nucleus as it has protons, the atom is considered to be electrically neutral. A simple example of this neutrality is with the Hydrogen-1 atom, Protium, which only has one proton (+) and one electron (-). The opposing charges from these subatomic particles create an electrically neutral atom.

Once we introduce more than one proton into the nucleus of an atom, such as with Helium, the two protons will naturally repel one another. This repellent force would literally tear the nucleus apart. However, physicists have discovered a "strong force" [http://particle-physics.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_four_forces_of_nature] which binds quarks together to form protons and neutrons.  It is this same strong force which serves to bind protons and neutrons together in the nucleus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_force].
