B.
un
OC. 7
D.
00
E.
11

5

Explanation:

An ion has a net charge of 3+

ion has 8 protons

How many electrons does it have

A neutral atom has equal number of electrons and protons.

If a neutral atom loses electron it acquires a positive charge.

So to acquire 3+ charge the atom must have lost three electrons.

So the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons by 3.

the answer is true.

your answer would be a. 12.5 kg
