Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The charge on an atom depends on the number of protons and electrons present in it. The protons in an atom are positively charged while electrons have a negative charge. For a neutral atom, the number of protons balances the number of electrons. for a negatively charged atom, the number of electrons is more than the number of protons. for a positively charged atom , the number of protons are more than the number of electrons.
