Answer:

B) number of electrons

Explanation:

The two species:

          K+   and Cl- have the same number of electrons.

A neutral atom of K has 19 electrons

A neutral atom of Cl has 17 electrons

Now,

 To form K+, K will have to lose an electron and then the number of electrons becomes 18

To form Cl-, Cl will have to gain an electrons and then the number of electrons becomes 18

So, therefore, the number of electrons on both species is 18
