Protons have a +1 charge. Electrons have a -1 charge. If the atom is to be neutral the number of protons MUST be the same as the number of electrons.
Of course.
No, the answer is not D. To determine the number of electrons in a neutral atom, we need to know the atomic number, which is equal to the number of protons. In this case, the atom has 92 protons, so the correct answer is A. The atom has 92 electrons.
