Strictly, all compounds have no charge. What would be a compound if neutral but actually has a charge should properly be called an ion. Some compounds, such as the diatomic molecules of the elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, have perfectly symmetrical covalent bonds without even any polarity. Most covalent bonds between dissimilar atoms have some polarity, as do all ionicly bonded compounds, but this does not mean that the compounds themselves have net electrical charge.
Some compounds have a charge. It depends on the charges of the components of the compound. For example, NO3- has a charge of -1 because the charge of its components are each O is 2- and the N is 5+,..
Oxygen typically carries a charge of -2 when forming compounds.
true
Selenium typically has an ionic charge of -2 when forming compounds.
The cation charge of Pt is typically +2. Platinum can also form cations with a +4 charge in certain compounds.
Compounds can be charged by different methods. But naturally most of the compounds are uncharged. So the overall charge of most compounds is neutral.
Compounds can have a neutral charge, a positive charge (cation), or a negative charge (anion), depending on the distribution of electrons within the atoms that make up the compound.

zero
Oxide ions have a charge of -2.
In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2 when it forms compounds.
positive
The total electric charge is always zero.
The charge on phosphorus can vary depending on the compound it is in. Phosphorus typically forms compounds with a charge of -3 or +3, but it can also form compounds with other charges such as -2 or +5.
The total electric charge in molecules and compounds is generally neutral, meaning that the positive charges from protons in the nucleus balance out the negative charges from electrons surrounding the nucleus. In some cases, molecules or compounds may carry a net charge if they have gained or lost electrons, making them ions.
