The table below shows the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in four ions.

Respuesta :

The atom that has a charge of -1 is atom 3.

To get the net ionic charge, we will use the formula as shown:

  • Net ionic charge = Number of protons present in an ion + Number of electrons present in an ion.

For atom 1;

Net ionic charge =  9 - 9

Net ionic charge = 0

For atom 2;

Net ionic charge =  9 - 8

Net ionic charge = + 1

For atom 3;

Net ionic charge =  9 - 10

Net ionic charge = -1

For atom 4;

Net ionic charge =  9 - 9

Net ionic charge = 0

From the calculation above, the atom that has a charge of -1 is atom 3.
