17 p, 17+; 18 n, 0; 17 e, 17-

Explanation:

I presume that the diagram gives the electron configuration of a neutral atom.

(a) Count the electrons

n = 2 + (2 + 6) + (2 + 5) = 2 + 8 + 7 = 17

There are 17 electrons, each with a charge of -1, so the charge is -17.

( b) Count the protons.

Each proton has a charge of +1.

If the atom is electrically neutral, it must have 17 protons with a total charge of + 17 to  balance the charge of the electrons.

(c) Count the neutrons

We don't have enough information to do this, but an atom with 17 protons must be chlorine.

It could have anywhere from 11 to 35 neutrons, but the most common isomer of Cl has 18 neutrons.

Each proton has zero charge, so their total charge is zero.
