Hello and thank you for using BrainMass!
Any atom is electrically neutral (total charge - zero)
The atom is composed of a small compact nucleus which has positive charge surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.
Each electron carries a unit negative charge denoted -e.
In MKS units each electron carries -1.6E-19 Coulomb.
So the electron cloud around the Neptunium nucleus has a total charge of ...
