Answer:
The atom has more electrons than protons.
Explanation:
Ions may be defined as the element that contains either positive or negative charge over it. Two types of ions are cations and the anions. The charge on the species is obtained by the loss or gain of electron.
Anions carry negative charge over them. Negative charge occurs by gaining of the electrons from its neighboring atoms. The number of protons and electrons are equal in neutral atom. Since, the ions gain the electron and hence it carries more protons.
Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
