The net charge is the charge that there is more of in an object. For example, if an object has 5 electrons (negative charges) and 4 protons (positive charges), then the net charge is negative because there are more electrons in the object. If the object gains 2 protons through the transfer of electric charge then the net charge becomes positive. However, if the object loses 1 proton to have an equal amount of both protons and electrons, then the net charge becomes nuetral.

What is the atomic number atomic mass and net charge of an atom of iron?

Atomic Number: This is the number of protons an element has. Answer: 26 Atomic Mass: Ignoring electrons, which are incredibly small and don't have much of an effect on the mass... This is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons Answer: 56 (26 protons + 30 neutrons) Net Charge: Protons are positive and electrons are negative. The net charge can be found by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. 0 is neutral. Answer: +3 (26 protons - 23 electrons).

What is the atomic number of He plus?

The atomic number of helium (He) is 2. When He gains one electron to become He plus, it becomes an ion with a net charge of +1, but the atomic number remains the same as 2.


What is the net charge for any compound?

The net charge for any compound is typically zero, as the total positive charge from the protons in the nucleus is balanced by the total negative charge from the electrons surrounding the nucleus. In some cases, compounds may have a net charge due to the presence of ions, where the total number of protons is not equal to the total number of electrons.

An atomic ion has 3 protons and 1 electron What is the charge of the ion?

The charge of the ion would be +2 because there are 3 protons (positive charge) and only 1 electron (negative charge). This results in a net charge of +2.
