First you have to find the overall charge of the C2H3O2. Hydrogen always has to have a +1 charge, and oxygen generally gets a -2 charge. then use the x for the unknown and multiply each charge by the number of the substance.
ex. 2(x) [for the carbon] + 3(+1) [for the hydrogen] + 2(-2) [for the oxygen]= overall charge of the molecule. then find x.

∙ 13y agoFirst off, we need to know the number of electrons of all of the constituent atoms in this molecule. Carbon has 6, hydrogen has 1, and oxygen has 8. Therefore, this molecule has 6*2 + 1*5 + 8 + 1 = 26 electrons.

(side note: Acetate is very commonly referred too as: "CH3COO")
(It is the same thing, just rearranged... just like H2O can become HOH, they are still both water)

What the total number of electrons in the Lewis structure for the C2H3O2- ion?
Carbon has 4 valence electrons; hydrogen has 1; oxygen has 6. As it is a negative (1) ion, you add 1 valence electron. (4)(2)+(1)(3)+(6)(2)+1=24 valence electrons
How many valence electrons are in a chlorine atom and a chloride ion?
There are 7 valence electrons in chlorine atom and 8 valence electrons in chloride ion.
How many valence electrons are present in a chloride ion?
A chloride ion has 18 electrons, giving it a valence of -1.
How many electrons will be in the valence shell of a iodine ion?
Iodine atom has 7 valence electrons, whereas Iodide ion has 8 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons in arsenide ion?
Three electrons

8
Why is o6 a helium like ion?
Helium has two valence electrons. O6+ ion (a hypothetical ion) will also have 2 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons do halogens gave?
Halides have 7 valence electrons, but the halide ion, haven gained an electron has 8 valence electrons
What are valence electrons and where can they be found?
Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom/ion are called valence electrons
