Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Electron number = 6

Proton number = 6

Neutron number = 6

From the question given above, we can see clearly that the model has the same number of protons and electrons. Hence the model is not an ion.

This can further be explained if we determine the charge.

Electron number = 6

Proton number = 6

Charge =?

Charge = Proton – Electron

Charge = 6 – 6

Charge = 0

Since the charge is zero, the model is not an ion.
