Question

problem 6
one of the particles in an atom is called an electron. it has a charge of -1. another particle in an atom is a proton. it has char
the charge of an atom is the sum of the charges of the electrons and the protons. a carbon atom has an overall charge of 0, b
has 6 electrons and 6 protons and -6+6=0.

	charge from electrons	charge from protons	overall charge
carbon	-6	+6	0
neon	-10	+10	(checked) 0
oxide	-10	+8	(crossed)
copper	-27	+29	(checked) 2
tin	-50	+50	(checked) 0

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate neon's overall charge

Sum electron and proton charges: $-10 + 10 = 0$

Step2: Calculate oxide's overall charge

Sum electron and proton charges: $-10 + 8 = -2$

Step3: Verify copper's overall charge

Sum electron and proton charges: $-27 + 29 = 2$ (matches given)

Step4: Verify tin's overall charge

Sum electron and proton charges: $-50 + 50 = 0$ (matches given)

Answer:

Neon's overall charge: 0
Oxide's overall charge: -2
Copper's overall charge: 2
Tin's overall charge: 0
