We can say an atom is electrically neutral if both electron (for electric charge) and proton (for positive charge) have the exact same amount
Since the number are needed in some amount to be considered stable (*2-1st level-need 8 for valence level) , The atom that has 7 protons and 7 electrons would be considered enough
