Answer:
Neutral.
Explanation:
Protons have a positive charge. In this problem there are 12.
Electrons have a negative charge. In this problem there are 12.
Neutrons have a neutral charge that isn't relevant tot the overall charge, it can be ignored.
#protons - #e- = charge
12 - 12 = 0
The protons and electrons balance each other out, resulting in a 0 net charge. This means the atom has a neutral charge.
