Solution

Solution 4QPStep 1 of 2:Here, we are asked to write the symbols for the ions with the given number of protons and electrons. An atom consists of nucleus and electrons. The electrons revolve around the nucleus. The nucleus is made of Protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. An atom is electrically neutral. This means that an atom consists of an equal number of protons and neutrons. If an atom loses or gains electrons, then it becomes an ion. ________________
