Hey mate......

Here's your answer........

An atom in which the number of electrons that surround the nucleus is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, so that there is no net electric charge. So the main difference is that a neutral radical has an unpaired electron while every neutral atom doesn't have unpaired valence electron.

Hope this will be helpful to you......
