One electron has - 1.602 X 10 -19 coulomb of charge. So disregarding the negative sign.....,
2.86 C/1.602 X 10 -19 C
= 1.79 X 1019 electrons in that much charge.
============================
When an object has too many electrons, it carries a negative charge. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so an excess of electrons on an object results in an overall negative charge.
A lack of electrons causing a positive charge, or too many electrons causing a negative charge.
Electrons charge is a negative
Oxygen needs 8 electrons to have no charge.
Darmstadtium has 110 electrons.
An oxygen ion with a charge of -2 has gained 2 electrons. Oxygen normally has 8 electrons, so with the addition of 2 electrons, the oxygen ion with a charge of -2 will have 10 electrons.
This cation has 24 electrons.
Sulfur, with its 6 valence electrons, will gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, resulting in a charge of -2.
Electrons have a negative charge.
Electrons have a negative charge.
Electrons have a negative charge.
It takes 6.25E18 electrons to produce 1 coulomb of charge.
