The statement that is true regarding the atom that has a charge of +1 in its nucleus for it to have no net charge is that there is one negatively charged electron outside the nucleus (option B).

How is net charge formed?

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles namely;

  • Proton; which is the positively charged particle
  • Electron; which is the negatively charged particle
  • Neutron

The number of protons and electrons in the atom is responsible for the net charge of that atom. For example, if there are more protons than electrons, the atom will be positively charged.

However, according to this question, an atom has a charge of +1 in its nucleus. This means that for this atom to have no net charge i.e. 0, there must also be one electron orbiting outside the nucleus.

Therefore, the statement that is true regarding the atom that has a charge of +1 in its nucleus for it to have no net charge is that there is one negatively charged electron outside the nucleus.
