### Educational Exercise: Identifying Cations, Anions, and Neutral Atoms

**Instructions:**
Identify each of the following as a cation, anion, or neutral atom.

**Options:**

- **A:**  
  - Protons (\(p^+\)): 15  
  - Electrons (\(e^-\)): 18  
  - Neutrons (\(n\)): 16  

- **B:**  
  - Protons (\(p^+\)): 8  
  - Electrons (\(e^-\)): 8  
  - Neutrons (\(n\)): 8  

- **C:**  
  - Protons (\(p^+\)): 30  
  - Electrons (\(e^-\)): 28  
  - Neutrons (\(n\)): 35  

- **D:**  
  - Protons (\(p^+\)): 26  
  - Electrons (\(e^-\)): 23  
  - Neutrons (\(n\)): 28 

**Choices:**

- 1: Cation
- 2: Anion
- 3: Neutral Atom

**Matching Selections:**

- **B**: [Choice]
- **A**: [Choice]
- **C**: [Choice]
- **D**: [Choice]

### Explanation:

- **Cations** have more protons than electrons.
- **Anions** have more electrons than protons.
- **Neutral Atoms** have an equal number of protons and electrons.
