Answer:

+2.05 x 10²²

Explanation:

Cations are positive, and anions are negative. We can see there are more cations than anions, so the answer will be a positive charge.

The exponents are the same, so it's really just a simple subtraction problem:

  • 4.09 x 10²²
  • - 2.04 x 10²²
  • +2.05 x 10²²
