Question

if an atom contains 3 protons and two electrons then the charge present on it would be ??​

Answer 1

Answer:

The net charge on the atom is +1.

Explanation:

Number of protons in an atom = 3

Charge on single proton = +1

Total charge on 3 protons = +3

Number of electrons in an atom = 2

Charge on single electron = -1

Total charge on 2 electrons = -2

Net charge on atom = (+3) + (-2) = +1
