Question

There are n1 number of electrons and n2 number of protons

what is total charge

Answer 1

Answer:

If the number of electrons is more, then the atom is negatively charged, becomes a -ve ion.

That is the case when n2> n1, also if the atom is deficient of electrons,

it is positively charged, becomes +ve ion. When n1>n2

Therefore the total charge on the body If there are n1 electrons and n2 protons will be |n1-n2|.

Because whichever of the two will be lower in number, will be neautralized by the other and the left electrons/ protons will be the reason for the charge on the body
