The total charge on an atom comes from protons and electrons.
The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged. A neutral atom would have an equal number of protons and electrons.
An atom with more protons than electrons will be positively charged while those with more electrons than protons will be negatively charged.

The answer is 3. The releasing of energy means exothermic reaction. So the ΔH should be negative. And the greatest quantity of energy released means that the greatest number. So according to the table I, the answer is 3.
The metals are to the left of the line (except for hydrogen, which is a nonmetal), the nonmetals are to the right of the line, and the elements immediately adjacent to the line are the metalloids.
