An atom consists of protons, neutron and electron. Electron is a negative charge (−), and a proton has a positive charge (+). When an electron and a proton pair up, they become neutral (0) and cancel the charge out.
 
Now determine the net charge:

i) 13 electrons and 8 protons \(=\)  electrons.
 
ii) 9 electrons and 23 protons \(=\)  protons.
 
iii) 9 protons and 14 electrons \(=\)  electrons.
 
iv) 17 protons and 11 electrons \(=\)  protons.
