The overall charge of any atom is 0. This is because the overall charge is number of protons - number of electrons. For every atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons so it is 0.
The charge of valence electrons in calcium is +2. This is because calcium belongs to Group 2 of the periodic table, which means it has 2 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom that participate in bonding.
Nonmetals will undergo chemical reactions that result in a stable electron configuration of 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons tells you have many they have in their outer shell prior to any chemical reaction, and therefore, how many more electrons they need to get a complete set of 8. So for example, oxygen has 6 valence electrons and therefore needs 2 more to have 8, so it will form an ion with a charge of minus two, which is the charge that is carried by the additional two electrons that oxygen will acquire. Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, therefore it needs just one more electron to complete its outer shell, and as an ion will have a charge of minus one. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, so it needs 3 more, and will form an ion with a charge of minus three.
The formal charge of P is 0 and the formal charge of F is 0.
If magnesium (Mg) has a full valence shell, it would have a 2+ charge. This is because magnesium has 2 valence electrons and would need to lose these electrons to achieve a full valence shell, resulting in a 2+ charge.
This atom become an anion with negative charge -1.

An atom's charge changes when it gains or loses electrons. Atoms naturally tend to lose or gain electrons to level out at eight valence electrons (valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy level), so the only atoms that keep their charge are ions with eight valence electrons or the Noble Gases, atoms on the far right of the periodic table that have eigth valence electrons and a nuetral charge.
Yes, electrons must balance out with the protons, so all electrons must carry a negative charge.
5, because the charge indicates the number in the valence orbital (outer shell).
The formal charge of P is 0 and the formal charge of F is 0.

The halogens, group 17, have 7 valence electrons. When they form ions, they gain 1 more valence electron and become ions with a charge of 1-.
Ca must lose 2 electrons to have a complete 3n shell, which has 8 valence electrons. The ion would have a charge of 2+: Ca^2+.
The valence electrons in nitrogen are located farther from the nucleus and shielded by inner electron shells, resulting in an increased screening effect and a higher effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons. In contrast, the valence electrons in beryllium are in a lower energy level closer to the nucleus, which leads to a weaker screening effect and a lower effective nuclear charge.
No, the effective nuclear charge is not equivalent to the number of valence electrons in an atom. The effective nuclear charge is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom, taking into account the shielding effect of inner electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom that are involved in bonding.
