What is the overall charge of an ion Pat has 12 protons 10 electrons and 14 neutrons

The over all charge on atom will be + 2.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

X is the element having 12 protons 10 electrons and 14 neutrons.

The number of protons and electrons are not equal which means two electrons are lose by the given atom and it is present in the form of cation.

The over all charge on atom will be + 2.
