Answer:

1) The neutral atom would have 18 electrons.

2) The neutral atom would have 10 electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge. A neutral atom refers to an atom whose charge is 0. This means the amount of electrons and protons must be the same.
