A) 28 protons and 26 electrons B) 16 protons and 18 electrons C) 35 protons and 36 electrons D) 24 protons and 21 electrons

The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom can be found by looking up the atomic number from a periodic table. If ions have a positive charge, then electrons are lost by that magnitude. If ions have a negative charge, then electrons are gained by that magnitude. The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom can be found by looking up the atomic number from a periodic table.
