hello

Answer 4

Neutral means the atom has no charge.
You have 6 protons, this means the atom is +6 and the electron is negatively charged so how many do you need to cancel out the protons?

Answer 5

An atom is electrically neutral as well

Since it "has no charge" that means it also has six electrons, and is a non-ionic atom of carbon
