Explanation:
Problem:
What is the electrical charge of each subatomic particle and how do the charges affects the net charge?
In atom, there are 3 subatomic particles:
Protons are positive charged particles with a charge of +
Electrons are negatively charged with a charge of -
Neutrons do not carry any charges 0
The net charge;
Net charge = number of protons - number of electrons
When the number of protons is more than number of electrons, there is a positive net charge on the ion.
When the number of electrons is more, there is a negative net charge on the ion.
