Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The atomic nucleus is the central area of the atom. It is composed of two kinds of subatomic particles: protons and neutrons.The protons and neutrons held together to form the dense area of the nucleus.

For atoms havng $Z>1$ nucleus contains protons and neutrons.

Which of the following species has more number of protons than the number of electrons?

  1. $F^-$

  2. $Na^+$

  3. $O^{2-}$

  4. $Ne$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A positively charged species has more number of protons than the number of electrons.
No. of protons in $Na^+$ = Atomic number of $Na$ = $11$
No. of Electrons in $Na^+ = 10$
