Greetings! I'm new to this forum, as I am new to Honors Chemistry in the 10th grade at my school. Although I am new here and in the subject, as I progress, I will be sure to share my chemistry insights and answers.

I do have a question besides my formal introduction, and I came upon it in my homework tonight.

How can you calculate the net charge of an ion if you know the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons it contains?

This is not the exact question, as I do not want to cheat, but the explanation to the question to get an answer.

All your help will be greatly appreciated!

Proton = +1 charge
Electron = -1 charge
Neutron = 0 charge
