Question

If an element has a charge of 1+, how many more protons does it have than electrons?

Answer 1

If an element has a charge of +1, there is 1 more proton than electrons.

A proton has a charge of +1
A neutron has a charge of 0
A electron has a charge of -1.

For there to be a charge of 0, there would be the same amount of charges for both proton and neutron. To get a charge of 1, you will need 1 more proton.


hope this helps
