A helium atom has two protons, two neutrons and two electrons. What is the charge of this atom?
A. 0
B. +2
C. +4***
D. More information is needed.
Answered by oobleck
C is not correct.
Check the charges of each of those particles, and try again.

NO!!!!
A neutron has no charge.
An electron is negative the same amount that a proton is positive.
A whole atom has exactly the same number of protons as it has electrons.
Therefore a whole atom, H or He or Fe or any atom is NEUTRAL.
If it loses or gains electrons, it is then an ION
