Solution
- Atoms with no electron will have mass, because mass depends on number of Protons and Neutrons though it has no electron.
- Atoms can exist without electrons, Matter is build out of neutrons, protons (+) and electrons (-). Matter becomes stable only if it is electrically neutral.
- So atoms without electrons do exist and must have their own states (charged or uncharged transfered back and forth in their environment)
- Example: He2+. It has 2 protons and 2 neutrons but no electrons.
