The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is called its
Answer to Problem 1.1P
The cation of the carbon atom having net charge +1 has six protons and five electrons.
Explanation of Solution
The atomic number of carbon is six. There are six protons in its nucleus. The neutral carbon atom must have six electrons. The cation with charge +1 is formed by the loss of one electron. Thus, in the cation, the number of protons is more than the number of electrons. Hence, the cation must have five electrons.
The cation of a carbon atom with charge +1 has one proton more than the number of electrons.
