It is a positively charges because when an atom gives up electrons it becomes positively charges. Think of it like this.....its being generous so it deserves to be a positive person. ;D.

Its not negatively charged because it didn't gain any.

So our answer is B. positively charged

Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.
