neutral.
positive.

pawww-sitive.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In Chemistry (a subfield of Natural Science), an atom has equal numbers of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge) in its neutral state. When an element gives away an electron, the number of protons (positive) becomes greater than the number of electrons (negative). So the ion formed will have a net positive charge, meaning it forms a positive ion.

Answer:

B. Positive.
