would it be B?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

I'm not too sure ;/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's all right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you think b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not to sure....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what its electrical charge is at normal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if it loses an electron it will lose a negative charge, so it would be +2. you're right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the medal :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You figured it out! you deserved it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was it +2?
