Answer 1

The correct answer is +1 and 0 respectively.Key Points

Proton has a relative charge of +1, while neutron has a relative charge of 0.
The charge of an atom is determined by the number of protons and electrons it has.
Protons and neutrons are both found in the nucleus of an atom.
The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number, while the total number of protons and neutrons is the mass number.
In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, making the atom electrically neutral.

Additional Information

A negatively charged subatomic particle known as an electron can be free (not bound) or bound to an atom.
The discovery of the electron is credited to J. J. Thomson.
Each subshell that makes up the KLMN shells is only permitted a certain number of electrons.
The maximum number of electrons in the s subshell is two, the maximum number in the p subshell is six, the maximum number in the d subshell is ten, and the maximum number in the f subshell is fourteen.
