Answer:

One positive charge

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of positive and negative particles are equal. This leaves the atom with a net charge of zero, 0.

When the number of protons in an atom is greater than the number of electrons, the atom becomes positively charged. When an atom loses an electron when a bond wants to form, it has a net positive charge.

The number of electrons lost or gained determines the charge.
