Answer:

-3

Explanation:

What is the overall charge of anion that has 15 protons, 18 electrons and 17 neutrons?

ONLY CHARGED PARTICLES CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL CHARGE, SO

+15 -18 = -3 OVERALL CHARGE

Remember

  • Proton=+ve
  • Electron=-ve
  • Neutron=0(neutral)

Total charge

  • No of protons+No of electrons
  • 15-18
  • -3
