What is the charge on a hypothetical ion with 45 protons and 47 electrons?
- For any neutral atom the [# of protons] = [# of electrons].
- If more electrons are present then there's more negative charge.
-
In this case we have
45 protons canceling out 45 electrons with 2 electrons leftover.
- = - 2 charge
