10 protons, 9 neutrons, 10 electrons

9 protons, 9 neutrons, 8 electrons
9 protons, 9 neutrons, 8 electrons

Answer 1

An ion with a positive charge has more protons than electrons. In the provided options, the only combination that describes an ion with a positive charge is:

9 protons, 9 neutrons, 8 electrons

This combination has one more proton than electrons, resulting in a positive charge.
