Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the charges of the subatomic particles: protons have a charge of +1, electrons have a charge of -1, and neutrons have no charge (0).
Calculate the total positive charge by multiplying the number of protons by +1: \(15 \times (+1) = +15\).
Calculate the total negative charge by multiplying the number of electrons by -1: \(17 \times (-1) = -17\).
Add the total positive and negative charges to find the overall charge: \(+15 + (-17) = -2\).
Since the overall charge is -2, the atom has a charge of 2-.
