Question

1.In a neutral atom the number of electrons are
a.Equal to the number of protons.
b.Less than the number of protons.
c.Greater than the number of protons.
d.Both a & b.
2. The charge on cation is
a. Positive
b. Negative
c. Neutral
d.Both a & b.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of electrons in a given atom is equal to the number of protons in that atom. However, units of the same element can have different numbers of electrons. Such units are known as ions. Atoms that lose one or more electrons become positively charged and are called cations.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z).

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

Explanation:

A cation has more protons than electrons, consequently giving it a net positive charge.
