Solution

The correct option is B 10 : 11
The hydrogen nucleus has 1 proton (1 proton has 1 unit positive charge), which means this neutral atom has 11 units positive charge. If the mass of a hydrogen atom is 1 unit, then the mass of this neutral atom is 23 units. Since, for a neutral atom number of electrons = number of protons = 11. Now, for this neutral atom to form a stable positive ion, it must lose one electron present in its valence shell to obtain a stable configuration. Hence, its ion will have 10 electrons. Therefore, the ratio of electrons to protons in the ion is 10:11.
