An electron is a negatively charged particle, whereas a proton is a positively charged particle. The magnitude of their charges is equal. Therefore, an atom containing one electron and one proton will not carry any charge. Thus, it will be a neutral atom.

Answer:
The atom will have no charge because the number of protons and electrons are equal in number so they cancel out each other.
