Question

How many protons are in an ion with 54 electron and -1 charge?

Answer 1

In neutral elements , the number of protonsand number of electrons is same element having either a + charge, then the number of protons are greater than the number of electrons.
. As for negative charge
the element has a -1 charge, which means there is one more electron as compared to the number of protons. then conclusion is that number of protons
= 54-1=53 hope this helps

Answer 2

The correct answer is 53.

It would be neutral if they were both at 53, however, since there's 54 electron, then it becomes negatively electrified and becomes -1. You just delete one number from it and you'll see that it's 53.
