Answer

Net charge $=+2.56\times10^{-18}C$

Work Step by Step

Electric charge on $1$ proton $q_{p}=+e=+1.6\times10^{-19}C$ Electrical charge on $1$ electron $q_{e}= -e=-1.6\times10^{-19}C$ Given the Iron atom is with $26$ $ proton$ and $7$ $ electron$ Net charge $= 26\times q_{p} +7\times q_{e}$ Net charge$ =26\times 1.6\times10^{-19}C +7\times (-1.6\times10^{-19})C$ Net charge $=+1.6\times10^{-19}C(26-7)$ Net charge $=+1.6\times10^{-19}C\times16$ Net charge $=+25.6\times10^{-19}C$ Net charge $=+2.56\times10^{-18}C$
