Question

what is the charge of an ion with 26 protons, 28 neutrons, and 27 electrons? +2 -1 -2 +1

Explanation:

Step1: Determine proton and electron charges

Protons have a charge of +1, electrons have a charge of - 1, and neutrons have no charge.

Step2: Calculate ion charge

Charge of ion = (Number of protons × charge of proton)+(Number of electrons × charge of electron)
Charge of ion=(26×1)+(27×(- 1))
Charge of ion = 26 - 27=-1

Answer:

-1
