Kendall Wheeler · Answer 1

A stable atom with neutral charge has the same number of protons and electrons.

While the charge of protons is positve and the charge of electrons is negative, the magnitude of their charges are equal.

Then, in order to the atom be neutral the positve charge equals the negative charge, and so the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
