Answer: C.) polyatomic anion
Explanation: Cations are the ions which carry a positive charge and anions are the ions which carry a negative charge. Monoatomic ions are those which consists atoms of similar elements and polyatomic ions are those which consists of atoms of different elements.
For example : is a monoatomic cation.
is an monoatomic anion.
is a polyatomic cation.
is a polyatomic anion as it consists of atoms of phosphorous and oxygen and bears a negative charge.
When the number of protons and electrons are equal, that means the element is neutral. So, to know the element, find the element with an atomic number of 10. That would be Neon. Next, solve the mass number.
Mass number = protons +neutrons = 10+11 = 21
Thus, the expression should be written as shown in the attached picture.
Mass number = protons +neutrons = 10+11 = 21
Thus, the expression should be written as shown in the attached picture.
