What is net charge?

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.

How do you find net charge?
The net charge is the total amount of charge that the ion will
have. So you will find out the charge of each group and add them
all together for the net charge.

Asked in Chemistry
Why does a material have a net charge?
A material will have a net charge because of the removal or
addition of electrons. Adding electrons will cause a net negative
charge. Removing them will create a net positive charge.

What is the net charge of OH2?
The net charge of H2O is 0.
The net charge of OH is -1.
The net charge of H is +1.
So, OH (-1) + H (+1) --> H2O (0)
Asked in Chemistry
What is the net charge of any atom?
The net charge of an atom is zero, or neutral. In other word
there is no net charge.
The net charge of an elemental atom is zero, or neutral. The net
charge of an ionic atom is determined by how many electrons the
atom has in comparison to the number of protons the atom has.
