I believe your answer will be 40

Thus 174 protons would make at most 6 copper atoms. However, it would take 174 extra electrons (29 per atom) and even more neutrons than that to construct neutral copper atoms with stable nuclei.
Because when mixed the food coloring spreads to the less dense parts of the water cup.
Answer:
Give up 2 electrons.
Explanation:
Is this ever a good question!!!
Electrons have a minus charge
Protons have a plus charge.
You need to understand it thoroughly. I used to explain it this way.
Suppose the protons and electrons are playing a game and the electrons commit a foul that leaves them with 2 men short.
That means there are 2 unguarded plus's around. The result is that the minuses have lost two men who are in the sin bin. (I watch a lot of hockey).
So a +2 means that the electrons have lost two of their players to penalties.
Put in the vocabulary of your question, you give up 2 electrons.
