Question

If the protons are 6 the neutrons are 6 and the electrons are 6 what is the total charge

Answer 1

Answer:

0

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

• Protons have a positive (+) charge.
• Neutrons have a neutral (0) charge.
• Electrons have a negative (-) charge.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

6 Protons

6 Neutrons

6 Electrons

Step 2: Determine charges

6 Protons = + 6 charge

6 Neutrons = 0 charge

6 Electrons = - 6 charge

Step 3: Determine overall charge

+6 + 0 + -6 = 0
