The overall charge of the atom in the picture would be -1.
Charges on atoms
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons are positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The neutrons, on the other hand, are neutral.
The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of atoms while the electrons are found in the orbitals outside the nucleus.
For a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive and negative particles cancel each other out.
Negatively charged atoms will have more electrons than protons while positively charged atoms will have more protons than electrons.
In the image, the atom has just 2 protons while there are 3 electrons outside the nucleus. Thus, the remnant charge is -1.
