Answers : Since, Protons are the positively charged sub atomic particles the number of protons in atom should be greater than the no of electrons for the atom to be positively charged . This can be achieved by loosing electron

Answer:

protons

Step-by-step explanation:

Any particle, whether an atom, molecule or ion, that contains less electrons than protons is said to be positively charged. Conversely, any particle that contains more electrons than protons is said to be negatively charged.
