Question

how does the number of protons compare to the number of electrons in a cation?
a there are more electrons than protons.
b there is no consistent relationship between the numbers of protons and electrons.
c there are equal numbers of protons and electrons.
d there are more protons than electrons.

Explanation:

A cation is a positively charged ion formed when an atom loses one or more electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, and electrons carry a negative charge. For the ion to have a net positive charge, the number of positively charged protons must exceed the number of negatively charged electrons.

Answer:

d. There are more protons than electrons.
