Question

protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no change. Given this information, if an atom is comprised of 5 protons, 4 electrons, and 5 neutrons, what is the charge (if any) on this molecule?

It has a negative charge because there are more neutrons and electrons than protons

It does not have a charge because there are equal amounts of neutrons and protons

It has a positive charge because there are more protons than electrons

It needs to lose a neutron and a proton so that all parts of the atom are equal

Answer 1

Answer:

It has positive charge as no of electrons are less than no of proton which shows that it has given its one electron( In a neutral atom no of proton = no of electron
