Answer:

Positive charge if there are more protons than electrons. Negative charge if there are more electrons than protons. If there's the same amount of protons and electrons, it's a neutral charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

All matter is made up of electrons and protons. Electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge. A charge is a type of particle measurement, and it is determined based on the amount of protons or electrons in a certain thing. The charge is which one there are more of, and there’s no charge (neutral) if they’re balanced.
