If the atom is neutral, it means that there are the same number of electrons and protons. Then, the number of electrons of the atom is 2.4*10^-12 C.

The number of electrons is obtained by using the following equivalence:

1C = 6.24*10^18 e

Then, you have:

[tex]2.4\cdot10^{-12}C\cdot\frac{6.24\cdot10^{18}e}{1C}\approx1.5\cdot10^7e[/tex]

Hence, there are approximately 1.5*10^7 electrons in the neutral atom
