Question

If an atom has 5 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons, what is the atom's charge?

Answer 1

5 - 3 is 2 so it lost 2 electrons so the charge is 2+

Answer 2

+2

Answer 3

well neutrons have a neutral charge
protons have a positive charge
and electron have a negative charge

Answer 4

Protons are positive and electrons are negative. so the equation would be 5+ (-3)

Answer 5

that is how you find the charge.
