If an atom has 5 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons, what is the atom's charge?
a. +2
b. -2
c. 0
d.-3 can someone explain to me how to find the answer to this promblem

The answer is letter A. +2 since the difference between the no. of protons and no. of electrons is 2.

Strictly speaking what you are talking about is an ion - that is an atom which has lost some of its electrons. In a neutral atom there will be an equal number of electrons & protons. 

Electrons and protons have equal and opposite charges whose magnitude is 1.60*10^-19 C. Since your ion has 2 more protons than electrons, the net charge will be 2*1.60*10^-19 = 3.2*10^-19C This will be a positive charge

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in . We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

The  grandmother cell  is a hypothetical  neuronthat represents a complex but specific concept or object.[1]  it activates when a person "sees, hears, or otherwise sensibly discriminates"[2]  a specific entity, such as his or her grandmother. the term was in use at least as early as 1966 amongst staff and students in the department of experimental psychology, university of cambridge, england. a similar concept, that of the  gnostic neuron, was proposed two years later
