Answer:

Neutral, positive or negative

Step-by-step explanation:

In the nucleus we have protons (with positive charge) and neutrons (without charge). In the outer shell are electrons (negative electrical charge). In the event that the number of protons and electrons are equal, that atom is electrically neutral.
