Question

I need help, need correct answer

Answer 1

Well give the above information of protons and electrons.

1 proton = +
1 electron = -
1 neutron = 0.

5 protons = + 5
4 electrons = -4
5 neutrons = 5 • 0 = 0

Add the values together to find the overall charge of the ion.

+5 + -4 = 5 - 4 = 1.

The overall charge is +1, and is thus positively charged because there are greater number of protons than electrons in the ion.
