An atom of rubidium has 37 protons and 48 neutrons. The atom loses one electron.
What will be the charge on the ion that forms?

36
+1
−36
−1

Respuesta :

Answer:

+1

Explanation:

Answer:

  1. -1
  2. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. "Loses" means subtraction, decrease, or negative. So, a loss of 1, can also be represented by -1.
  2. If protons and electrons can be represented by the same number (37), then a loss of 1 is just, 37 - 1. 37 - 1 = 36.

I hope this helps!
