The total charge would be +17 + (-10) = +7.
It should be:# of protons - # of electronsIt gives you the ion charge of the element. For example, Oxygen ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons. Therefore, 8 - 10 = -2 ----> O2-
Because protons and electrons have the same magnitude of electric charge each, but of opposite signs, this charge would be 7.01013 - 4.01013 = 4. (Only one significant digit is given, and the question itself is suspicious, because fractional protons and electrons do not exist!)
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
The overall charge of the atom would be positive one, since it has 9 protons (positive charge) and 10 electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of +1.
The ion with 13 protons and 10 electrons would have a 3+ charge since there are more protons than electrons. Its formula would be Al3+, representing an aluminum ion with a 3+ charge.
If you have two electrically neutral objects, and a charge (e.g., an electron) passes from one to the other, then both will be charged. If an electron (with a charge of minus 1 elementary units) passes from object "A" to object "B", and both were neutral initially, then object "A" will have a charge of +1, and charge B, a charge of -1. If this is confusing for you, here is a numerical example.Object A has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 10 = 0.Object B also has 10 protons and 10 electrons, for a total charge of 0.After the electron goes from object A to object B:Object A has 10 protons and 11 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 11 = -1.Object B has 10 protons and 9 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 9 = +1.If you have two electrically neutral objects, and a charge (e.g., an electron) passes from one to the other, then both will be charged.

The total charge on an oxygen ion with 8 protons and 10 electrons is +2, because oxygen normally has 8 protons and 8 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge. Adding 2 extra electrons gives a net charge of -2.
A sodium ion with 11 protons and 10 electrons has a net charge of +1 because the number of protons (positive charge) is greater than the number of electrons (negative charge) by 1.
The charge of an atom is determined by the difference between its protons and electrons. In this case, the atom would have a +3 charge since it has 13 protons and 10 electrons, leading to an excess of positive charge.
There are 11 protons in an ion with 10 electrons and a -1 charge. The charge of an ion is defined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, since the ion has a -1 charge, it means there is one more electron than the number of protons.
12 + 10 = 22 charge
12 + 10 = 22 charge

9 protons
Because protons and electrons have the same magnitude of electric charge each, but of opposite signs, this charge would be 7.01013 - 4.01013 = 4. (Only one significant digit is given, and the question itself is suspicious, because fractional protons and electrons do not exist!)
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
There is a neutral charge on an atom when the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is most common in the Noble gases, such as Neon (atomic number 10, the second Noble Gas), where there are 10 protons and 10 electrons, with the negative charge on the electrons balancing out the positive charge of the protons exactly.
