What is the overall charge of an ion that has 12 protons, 10 electrons, and 14 neutrons?



Sagot :

The charge of the ion would be +2, because there are 2 more protons than there are electrons.  The neutrons don't matter because they have a neutral charge, meaning they are neither positive nor negative.
