Answer:

One more proton than electron.

Step-by-step explanation:

The element may be defined as the substance that contains the same atom in its structure. The atom consists of protons, electrons and neutrons.

The proton and electron are equal in the element. The loss of an electron gives positive charge to the element. Since, the element has one positive charge it has one more proton in its structure.

Thus, the answer is one extra proton.
