Determine the atomic number(s) of all the element(s) in the ion, then multiply these atomic numbers by the number of atoms of the corresponding element in the formula of the ion, and add the resulting products to obtain the number of protons in an ion.

How do you determine the number of electrons that an atom normally have?
by the atomic number which determines the number of protons. a stable atom will have an equal number of electrons as protons. if there are more or less, it is an ion
How many protons are in an ion?
The number of protons present in an ion is equivalent to its atomic number.
What is the number of protons in Fe 3 plus?
There are similar number of protons in the ion and the atom. Fe+3 ion contains 26 protons.
If a nitride ion has a charge of -3 the ion must have how many protons?
The number of protons is 7.
What is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in a negative ion?
a negative ion means that an electron(s) has been gained. therefore, there will be a higher number of electrons than protons, as the number of protons will not change

Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?
The number of protons is the same in the atom and the ion of any element.
What is the number of protons and electrons for Lithium ion?
Lithium ion is Li^1+ and the number of protons is 3 and the number of electrons is 2.
If a nitride ion has a charge of -3 the ion must have how many protons?
The number of protons is 7.

What do you call unequal number of protons and electrons?
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
How many protons does he plus ion possess?
The number of protons is 2.
What is the number of protons in a boron ion?
Boron has 5 protons.
What is the number of protons in Fe 3?
This ion is yellowish brown color in water. Ion contains 26 protons.
Does a chloride ion have equal protons and electrons?
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
