To have no net charge, an atom must have an equal number of electrons and protons, balancing out the charges.
Neutral atoms have no net charge because the number of electrons equals the number of protons. In the scenario described, for the atom to have no net charge despite one electron having a -3 charge, there must be three positively charged protons in the nucleus to balance the -3 charge of the electron in the orbitals.
