Answer 2

I think the best answer for this question is B. An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons. Atoms have a neutral charge since the number of the positively charge particles and the negatively charged particles are equal. However, when these particles are unequal a charged atom will be the result.
