Answer:

The total charge on atom is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Electrons have a negative charge.

Let this charge be represented by -1.

Protons have a positive charge. Let this charge be represented by +1.

An atom have 2 more electrons than protons.

Let x be the number of protons.

Then, the number of electrons are (x+2)

Total charge on atom =

=Charge on atom = Charge of protons + Charge of electrons

=(+1)(x) + (-1)(x+2)\\=x-x-2\\=-2

Thus, the total charge on atom is -2.
