A) 13 protons and 10 electrons B) 34 protons and 36 electrons C) 31 protons and 28 electrons D) 38 protons and 36 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.
