The charge is 1

I honestly can't explain how I know it hard but I know it right

The ion has a charge of 1 +.

A neutral ion would have the same number of protons and neutrons. The neutrons have no charge (they're neutral) so they don't matter when it comes to the charge of an ion. This ion has 30 protons (+) and 29 electrons (-). There is 1 more proton than there are electrons so the ion has a charge of 1 +.
