Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image given;

Number of Protons = 1

Number of Electrons = 1

Number of Neutrons = 0

Positive Charge (From the protons) = + 1

Negative charge (From the electrons) = -1

Atomic mass = Mass of Proton + Mass of Neutron = 1.00727647 amu + 0.000549 amu = 1.00784 amu

Overall Charge = Positive charge + Neutral charge = 1 -1 = 0 (Neutral atom)
