How does the number of protons compare to the number of
electrons in a canton

The number of protons in cation is more than the number of electrons

Explanation:

cations are positive ions that means that they lose electrons to be stable nd have electron configuration (atomic number ) equivalent to the preceding noble gas

as : sodium 11 , it loses on electron to be stable and its electron configuration is equivalent to neon 10

so ,the number of protons in cation is more than the number of electrons

i hope it helps!

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of carbon is as shown here in the image.

what is the question?
