Summer Hunt · Answer 1

I think it would be one as the total charge since the protons and neutrons cancel out each other, leaving one neutron. The other option is that it totals out causeing their to be a larger charge which would be 7.

Since protons are postive and neutrons are neutral. Then it is postive.
