1 Answer

The right answer is positive ion.

Since the number of protons will be more than the number of electrons and since protons are positively charged, It'l be positively charged as well.

Those atoms are mainly metals, Hydrogen and Carbon since they tend to lose electrons than gaining in ionic bonding because they have less than three electrons on their outermost energy shells.
