* Protons: Each proton carries a single positive charge (+1).

* Electrons: Each electron carries a single negative charge (-1).

Calculation:

* 17 protons * +1 charge/proton = +17 charge

* 10 electrons * -1 charge/electron = -10 charge

Total Charge: +17 charge + (-10 charge) = +7 charge

Therefore, the total charge of 17 protons and 10 electrons is +7.
