The electrical charge of an atom having 15 proton, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct option is D.
What is an atom?
An atom is the smallest unit of any matter which comprises of central nucleus and electrons revolving around the nucleus in definite energy shells. The atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
The electrical charge of an atom can be calculated as,
Charge of an atom = number of protons - number of electrons
Charge = 15 - 16 = -1.
The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge, the protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged in an atom.
Therefore, the charge of an atom with 15 protons, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct answer is option D.

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals.
<h3>1</h3>
Species shown in bold are precipitates.
- Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KI → CuI₂ + 2 KI
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Cu(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CuC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Ni(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → NiC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Zn(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Zn(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → ZnC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

A double replacement reaction takes place only if it reduces in the concentration of ions in the solution. For example, the reaction between Ca(NO₃)₂ and KOH produces Ca(OH)₂. Ca(OH)₂ barely dissolves. The reaction has removed Ca²⁺ and OH⁻ ions from the solution.
Some of the reactions lead to neither precipitates nor gases. They will not take place since they are not energetically favored.
<h3>3</h3>
Compare the first and last row:
Both Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ react with KOH. However, between the two precipitates formed, Ca(OH)₂ is more soluble than Zn(OH)₂.
As a result, add the same amount of KOH to two Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ of equal concentration. The solution that end up with more precipitate shall belong to Zn(NO₃)₂.
<h3>4</h3>
Compare the second and third row:
Cu(NO₃)₂ reacts with KI, but Ni(NO₃)₂ does not. Thus, add equal amount of KI to the two unknowns. The solution that forms precipitate shall belong to Cu(NO₃)₂.
If it is incomplete or complete combustion. Normally the problems question with tell you.
EX:
"In the presence of plenty of oxygen" is complete combustion
"Not enough oxygen present" is incomplete combustion
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
