Question

Lithium has 3 protons, 3 electrons, and 4 neutrons. How much is the positive charge of this atom?

Answer 1

Answer:If you add a proton to the atom, it becomes beryllium (atomic number = 4).

It is an ion with a +1 charge, since the number of protons (4) no longer equals

the number of electrons (3).

So you have a beryllium +1 ion - the best answer choice is C.
