The neutral atom of lead must have 82 protons while ions can have b or less than 82.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of the element.
Also, for neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
In ionic form, the number of protons/electrons of an atom may vary and be different from that of the neutral form.
Positive charges mean that the ion has less proton than its neutral version while negative charges mean that it has more electrons than its neutral version.
Thus, the neutral atom of lead will contain an equal number of protons as the electrons while its ionic form can have more or less than 82 protons.

Answer:
your answer is 12 hope it's correct answer
Particle accelerators is your answer
Negative, because electrons have a negative charge and there are more of them.
