If a particle has z = 25 and 23 electrons, what is its charge?

- The charge is +2.

Explanations:- Z stands for atomic number. The Z is given as 25 means the atomic number of the element is 25. It has 23 electrons. For a neutral atom the number of electrons is same as the atomic number. Since the number of electrons is less than atomic number, the atom must have lost the electrons.

Number of electrons lost = 25 - 23 = 2

If the element lost electrons then it has positive charge. As, the electrons are lost, the charge is +2.
