Net charge is the charge that the element has. Those are often used for forming ions mainly because all of them tend to be balanced.

Yes, since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. According to medical-dictionary.com, the net charge is, "the arithmetic sum of positive and negative charges," so I hope that definition makes it a little clearer for you. Hope I helped!
