The charge is #+2#........

Explanation:

There are 2 more protons, massive fundamental particles of positive charge, than electrons, massless fundamental particles of negative charge. And thus the charge is #+2#.

You should be able to tell me the name of the element. If #Z=12#, what is it? You should also be able to tell me the isotope. What are they?
