Answer

31 Protons and 28 Electrons

Work Step by Step

The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom can be found by looking up the atomic number from a periodic table. If ions have a positive charge, then electrons are lost by that magnitude. If ions have a negative charge, then electrons are gained by that magnitude. $Z=31$ Protons $E=31-3=28$ Electrons
