An iron ion has 26 protons and 23 electrons electrons have a charge of negative 1 and protons have a charge of positive one what is the charge of the ion

The charge on the ion is +3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of protons = 26

Number of electrons = 23

Charge on 1 proton = +1

Charge on one electron = -1

We have to calculate the total charge on the ion.

Total charge on ion =

=(Number oof proton)(Charge of proton) + (Number of electron)(Charge of electron)

Thus, the charge on the ion is +3.
