Answer #1

If net charge on an object is positive ,then it is electron deficient.( If electrons are less than protons ie electron deficient ,the object will be positively charged).

If net charge on an object is negative,then it is electron surplus.( If electrons are more than protons ie electron surplus,the object will be negatively charged).

So by checking the net charge of an object ,we can infer if the object is electron deficient or surplus.
