Question

Evaluate the image of protons (P), neutrons (N), and electrons (E) within and around a nucleus.

Which answer choice correctly names and lists the charge of the figure represented?

Answer 1

B. It is an ion with a negative charge

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B, It is an ion with negative charge

Explanation:

An ion is an atom/molecule that has some charge on it either negative or positive.

Here, there are three protons(with positive charge) and three neutrons (with no charge at all) with in the nucleus of the atom but outside the nucleus there are five electron (with negative charge), thereby giving a net charge of $-2$ to this atom therefore it will be referred as an ion with negative charge.

Hence, option B is correct
