An ion contains 16 protons and has an overall relative charge of +3. A proton contributes +1 to the total relative charge. An electron contributes -1 and has relative mass 11840\displaystyle \frac{1}{1840}18401.
Which gives the number of electrons in the ion and their combined relative mass?
19 electrons; combined relative mass 191840\frac{19}{1840}184019.
3 electrons; combined relative mass 31840\frac{3}{1840}18403.
13 electrons; combined relative mass 131840\frac{13}{1840}184013.
13 electrons; combined relative mass 11840\frac{1}{1840}18401.
