The charge of a proton is +1 elementary charge (approximately +1.602 x 10^-19 Coulombs), the charge of a neutron is 0 (it is neutral), and the charge of an electron is -1 elementary charge (approximately -1.602 x 10^-19 Coulombs).
To find the total charge of 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 2 electrons, we can sum the individual charges:
1. Charge from 1 proton: +1
2. Charge from 1 neutron: 0
3. Charge from 2 electrons: 2 × (-1) = -2
Now, combining these charges:
Total charge = +1 (proton) + 0 (neutron) + (-2) (electrons) = +1 - 2 = -1
So, the total charge of 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 2 electrons is -1 elementary charge.
