Answer:

Net Charge = -2

Explanation:

If we subtract 18 from 20 we get 2. Since protons are positive and electrons are negative, and then it's obvious that electrons are greater in number, therefore the net charge would also be negative which is -2.

Carbon is a chemical element, which belongs to the group-14 of periodic table and has atomic number 6.

Water is a odorless, almost colorless and tasteless chemical compound which is necessary for all the known living form. The chemical formula is H2O and it is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Glucose is a monosaccharide sugar and a type of simple carbohydrate. The chemical formula is C6H12O6 and is composed of 6 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms.

Glycogen is a branched polysaccharide molecule, which is composed of multiple monomeric glucose units. Therefore, it is the largest.

<u>Therefore, the increasing order is: electron, carbon, water,  glucose, glycogen.</u>
