Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no change. Given

information, if an atom is comprised of 5 protons, 4 electrons, and 5 neutrons, what is the charge (if any)
on this molecule?
A.It does not have a charge because there are equal amounts of neutrons and protons
It needs to lose a neutron and a proton so that all parts of the atom are equal
It has a positive charge because there are more protons than electrons
It has a negative charge because there are more neutrons and electrons than protons
