Carbon, as a non-metal wants to gain electrons to have 8 outer shell electrons. In its outer shell, carbon has 4 electrons. Therefore, a carbon ion picks up 4 electrons to become C-4
32
There are 10 electrons in an Mg2+ ion.
The chloride ion has 18 electrons.
An ion is charged by definition. A carbon atom itself rarely carries a charge, and generally bonds covalently. It is better thought of as an uncharged atom that bonds by sharing electrons (covalently) rather than by taking or giving them (ionically).
The ion S(2-) has 16 protons and 18 electrons.
Three electrons
if its not an ion it has 6
2-
actually there are 6 electrons in carbon and oxygen has 8 electrons and it gains 2 electrons to make it a negative ion so the total number of ions are 32
The ion carbon C4+ has 6 protons and 2 electrons.
There are 18 electrons in a chloride ion.
a cuprous ion has 28 electrons.
The ion Fr+ has 86 electrons.
There are six electrons in two shells.In order to stable carbon, it take electrons from nearest noble gas to stable the carbon.It order to stable carbon it gain -4 electrons from the nearest noble gas Neon.
Potassium ion has 18 electrons.
There are 10 electrons in an Mg2+ ion.
The chloride ion has 18 electrons.
The H+ ion has no electrons.
