Best Answer

In a neutral atom of nickel (Ni28) has 28 electrons. These 28 electrons each have a charge of -1, and that makes a total electron charge of -28.

For the charge in coulombs, take the charge of one electron, which is -1.602 × 10-19 coulombs and multiply it by 28.

This isn't right because you have to account for the protons in the nucleus of the atom. It should be zero. I think what your looking for is its ionization charge, which I don't know off the top of my head

Nickel's atomic number is 28. That means it has 28 protons, all of which have a +1 charge. To keep nickel electrically neutral then, it must also have 28 electrons.

What the charge for Nickel atom?

Nickel has an atomic number of 28- so if there aare only 26 electrons - 2 are missing and the ion will have a harge of 2+.


What is the charge of the nickel when the nickel combines with fluorine to form nickel (III) fluoride?

The answer is Ni3+


What is the chemical formula for nickel iii and phosphate?

the formula is Ni3(PO4)2 :) The correct answer is Ni PO4, the answer shown is for Nickel II phosphate.


What compound is NiPO4?

NiPO4 is Nickel (III) Phospate. The PO4 is a polyatomic particle which is called phosphate and has a charge of 3- and in this example Ni has a charge of 1+, so the charges are switched giving Ni a 3+ charge with stays positive and is written in the middle of the two names. [edit] Not quite... the nomenclature Nickel (III) indicates the Nickel has a charge of 3+. Nickel will either have a charge of 2+ or 3+, it can not have a charge of 1+, so I don't know what the original answerer was saying with switching charges bumping up the ionization of the Nickel. Basically, Ni3+ + PO43- -> NiPO4 OR if you are dealing with Nickel (II) Ni2+ + PO43- -> Ni3(PO4)2 which is also Nickel Phosphate Any way, I just wanted to correct the original post, but the answer to the original question is Nickel Phosphate, or as the original poster stated Nickel (III) Phosphate. -Mike


What is the Chemical Formula for Nickel III Nitrate?

== Since Nickel(III) has a +3 charge and Nitrate (NO3) has a -1 charge, the chemical formula for nickel(III) nitrate would therefore be Ni(NO3)3

What is the formula for nickel(II) ion?

The compound nickel (II) nitride consists of a nickel ion with a +2 charge and a nitride ion with a -3 charge. Since this compound is neutral, the charges must balance. Consequently, it can be determined that the formula of nickel (II) nitride is Ni3N2.
