question 1 (1 point)
what is the ionic charge of an ion with 13 protons and 10 electrons?
1+
2+
3+
2-
1-

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the charge

The charge of an ion is calculated by the formula \(Charge = Protons - Electrons\).
Given protons \(= 13\) and electrons \(= 10\).
So, \(Charge=13 - 10\).

Step2: Simplify the expression

\(13-10 = 3\). Since protons are positively charged and there are more protons than electrons, the charge is \(+3\).

Answer:

\(3+\)
