Question

3 fill in the blank 1 point a neutral atom has choose your answer... amount of protons and electrons. a positive ion is an atom that has choose your answer... protons than electrons. (the atom lost electrons). a negative ion is an atom that has choose your answer... protons than electrons. (the atom gained electrons). choose your answer... fewer (less) more previous next

Explanation:

A neutral atom has equal positive (protons) and negative (electrons) charges, so equal number of protons and electrons. A positive ion forms when an atom loses electrons, so it has more protons than electrons. A negative ion forms when an atom gains electrons, so it has fewer (less) protons than electrons.

Answer:

1. equal
2. more
3. fewer (less)
