Question

An atom contains 4 protons, 3 neutrons, and 5 electrons. What is its total electric charge?

Answer 1

charge on proton = +e
charge on neutron = 0
charge on electron = -e

e= 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

So net charge= 4e + 3x0 + 5(-e) = -e

Answer 2

and seriously, this isn't an atom

Answer 3

Maybe it is a negative ion.
