Answer 2

When an atom has 2 electron and 2 proton. Wt will b its charge??

Answer 3

U know charge of electron is negative and the charge of proton is positive. Right?

Answer 4

ya

Answer 5

so the answer is B?

Answer 6

The atom has total charge=+2-2=?

Answer 7

nothing

Answer 8

No this is not result. I m just giving an example for ur understanding

Answer 9

whats the answer

Answer 10

Anyway if my atom loss 1 electron then wt will b the charge of this atom

Answer 11

-1?

Answer 12

is the answer?

Answer 13

Hw?!!

Answer 14

what

Answer 15

U hv 2 protons and 1 electron in ur atom. Right?

Answer 16

ya

Answer 17

Proton means=+2
Electron means=-1

Answer 18

positive 1?

Answer 19

Correct!!!

Answer 20

Now can u tell me the charge of ur given ion???!!

Answer 21

U hv 2 more protons than the number of electrons in ur ion

Answer 22

If u hv 6 electrons , then the number of protons will b 8. Right?

Answer 23

Charge of electrons=-6
Charge of protons=+8
Total charge=?

Answer 24

R u not following me??!!

Answer 25

+8-6=?

Answer 26

And this is ur answer!!!!
