The correct Answer is:
To determine which unipositive ion possesses all three subatomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons), we need to analyze the options provided: Helium and Deuterium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Unipositive Ions**: - A unipositive ion is an ion that has lost one electron, resulting in a charge of +1. This means it has one less electron than the number of protons. 2. **Analyzing Helium (He)**: - The atomic number of Helium (He) is 2, which means it has 2 protons. - The mass number of Helium is 4, which means it has a total of 4 nucleons (protons + neutrons). - To find the number of neutrons: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Mass Number} - \text{Number of Protons} = 4 - 2 = 2 \] - Therefore, a neutral Helium atom has 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons. - When it becomes a unipositive ion (He⁺), it loses one electron, resulting in: - Protons: 2 - Neutrons: 2 - Electrons: 1 - Thus, He⁺ has all three subatomic particles. 3. **Analyzing Deuterium (D)**: - Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen, represented as \( ^2H \) or \( D \). - The atomic number of Deuterium is 1, meaning it has 1 proton. - The mass number of Deuterium is 2, which means it has a total of 2 nucleons. - To find the number of neutrons: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Mass Number} - \text{Number of Protons} = 2 - 1 = 1 \] - A neutral Deuterium atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. - When it becomes a unipositive ion (D⁺), it loses one electron, resulting in: - Protons: 1 - Neutrons: 1 - Electrons: 0 - Thus, D⁺ does not have all three subatomic particles since it has no electrons. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, the unipositive ion that possesses all three subatomic particles is Helium (He⁺). ### Final Answer: The unipositive ion that possesses all three subatomic particles is **Helium (He⁺)**.
