Zinc (Zn)
Atomic number: 30
Weight: 65.39
30 protons
30 electrons
neutrons in variable numbers, depending on which isotope (%occurring in nature):
34 (48.9%),
36 (27.8%),
37 (4.1%),
38 (18.6%) or
40 (0.6%)
Zinc always has 30 protons. That's what makes it zinc. Proton count determines elemental identity. Always. In the neutral atom of zinc, there will be 30 electrons. There are several stable isotopes of Zinc, and they are 64Zn, 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn and 70Zn, and they have 34, 36, 37, 38, and 40 neutrons, respectively. And those are just the stable ones. Zinc has a couple of dozen different unstable isotopes, and a few of them occur naturally, and a bunch were created in the physics lab.

Protons = electrons = 30 = atom number
Neutrons (depends on which isotope) = Mass number - atom number = (variable 64 till 70) - 30 =
= 34 - 40, but 31 and 39 are not stable isotopesin nature.
The atomic number of zinc is 30, which means its atoms have 30 protons. In a neutral zinc atom, there will also be 30 electrons. The number of neutrons varies with the isotope.

There are 8 protons and 10 electrons in an oxide ion.
The ion S(2-) has 16 protons and 18 electrons.
Be2+ ion has 4 protons and 2 electrons
By seeing how many protons to electrons there are. More protons, the Ion is positive. More electrons, the Ion is negative.
Na+ sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons
There are 8 protons and 10 electrons in an oxide ion.
47 protons and 46 electrons.
35 protons, 36 electrons
The ion S(2-) has 16 protons and 18 electrons.
Be2+ ion has 4 protons and 2 electrons
By seeing how many protons to electrons there are. More protons, the Ion is positive. More electrons, the Ion is negative.
There are many different types of ions, having many different quantities of electrons and protons. The H+ ion has one proton and no electrons. That's the simplest.
chlorine ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
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.
This ion has 16 protons and 18 electrons.
Na+ sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons
When it comes to zinc, the amount of neutrons is considerably higher than the number of protons and electrons. In zinc there are 30 protons include, 35 neutrons and 30 electrons. Unless you are dealing with Ion, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
