Problem 3 One of the particles in an atom is called an electron. It has a charge of -1. Another particle in an atom is a proton. It has charge of +1. The charge of an atom is the sum of the charges of the electrons and the protons. A carbon atom has an overall charge of 0, because it has 6 electrons and 6 protons and -6+6=0. Find the overall charge for the rest of the elements on the list.

charge from
electrons charge from
protons overall
charge
carbon -6 +6 0
neon -10 +10
oxide -10 +8
copper -27 +29
tin -50 +50

neon= 0 (neutral)

oxide= -2 (electron)

copper= 2 (proton)

tin=0 (neutral)

i hope i got these right...
