Question

What is the overall charge ofanion that has 15 protons, 18 electrons and 17 neutrons?

Answer 1

Remember

• Proton=+ve
• Electron=-ve
• Neutron=0(neutral)

Total charge

• No of protons+No of electrons
• 15-18
• -3

Answer 2

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the overall charge of anion that has 15 protons, 18 electrons and 17 neutrons?

ONLY CHARGED PARTICLES CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL CHARGE, SO

+15 -18 = -3 OVERALL CHARGE
