when an ionic or covalent compound is dissolved in water they break apart into ions through process called dissociation ..the ions get attracted by the water molecules and hence they carry polar charges ..and if there is a conduction of electricity. .then we get to know that a compound is dissociated ..

Firstly, atoms are also composed of protons and neutrons as well as electrons.
Now, to answer your question... Atoms are the smallest you can go while still having it be an element, hence the definition ''<span>the basic unit of a chemical element.'' It is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties of an element. However, atoms still need these charges to be atoms. Without electrons, they'd just be ions. Hope this helps.</span>
Actually Rb or Rubidium in zero state has the following
electron configuration:
<span>1s22s2</span><span>2p6</span><span>3s2</span><span>3p63d10</span><span>4s2</span><span>4p65s1</span>
However we can see that the ion has a 1 positive charge,
which means that it lacks 1 electron, therefore the answer from the choices is:
<span>d.
rb+: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6</span>
