Answer 3

+3

Answer 4

Okay thanks! but how did you get this? lol @abb0t

Answer 5

It's originally a Mn atom, (25 protons, 25 electrons) that lost its 3 valence electrons, meaning that you get Mn\(^{3+}\), which makes sense because transition metals have positive charges.

Answer 6

protons and electrons should be equal. If you're missing, you have a + charge, if you have extra, it's a - charge.

Answer 7

Okay great! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
