An "ion" (an atom with unequal numbers of protons and electrons) has a nucleus containing 11 protons and 12 neutrons. There are 10 electrons in the electron cloud. What is the net electric charge of this ion? The answer is expressed in multiples of the quantum charge "e". a. 21e b. +e c. -e d. -10e e. +11e
