The proper nuclide notation would be ----- 31
P
15
It would be phosphorous since on the peridioc table of elements it is number 15. You add the protons and neutrons together to get the top number.
The mass number would be 30. Mass number equals the number of nucleons in a nucleus, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Oh, and your phosphorus-30 is an interesting critter. It isn't found outside a physics lab, and that's because it has a half-life of only about 2 1/2 minutes before beta plus decay releases a positron and transmutes the little atom into silicon-30.
what is the standard notation for the phosphorus atom that contains 17 neutrons and 15 electrons?
32
P
15
Well, it must be 3 - , because 18 negatively charged electrons is three more than 15 positively charged protons.
I believe that would be P- (Phosphorus Minus) due to the extra negative charge (the electron) and 15 protons being phosphorus.
The charge on a carbonate ion is -2; therefore, the ion has two more electrons than protons.
The charge is +2 but this ion doesn't exist.
+1
Minus 2
There are more protons than electrons, and since protons are positive, the ion will be positive. Because there are two more protons, the charge is +2.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
A phosphorus atoms has 15 protons and will form an ion with 18 electrons. Phosphorus-31 is one of the isotopes.
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.
Phosphorus forms P3- ion and it has 8 valence electrons (5 valence electrons from phosphorus and three from the charge).
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
It has 3 more protons than electrons. Protons are 1+ and electrons are 1-. So the charge on the hypothetical ion would be 3+
The phosphorus -3 ion. The phosphorus -3 ion gains 3 electrons and acts like argon.
Remember.. I f there are more electrons than protons in an ion the charge will be negative. Here there is a -4 charge because the electrons are higher than the protons, if it were the opposite the charge would be +4.
It has a positive (+) charge.
It has a positive (+) charge.
The charge on a carbonate ion is -2; therefore, the ion has two more electrons than protons.
If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative. If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
