How many electrons are in a nickel ion that has an atomic number of 28 and a positive charge of 2 how do you know?

An atomic number of 28 implies that a neutrally charged atom would have 28 electrons. If it has a positive charge of +2 then that would imply the ion was deficient by 2 electrons - hence a total of 28-2 = 26 electrons.

∙ 12y agoThe atomic number of 28 tells us that nickel atoms contain 28 protons in their nuclei. In a neutral nickel atom, the number of electrons would also be 28.

How many electrons are in a nickel ion that has an atomic number of 28 and a positive charge of 2?
26
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 nickel?
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
Is the element Ni a cation or anion?
Ni-Nickel. In its natural form its a neutral atom since Number of proton=Number of electron. However when Ni wants a stable outer shell of electrons, it loses electrons to obtain a stable octet. After losing electrons, the number of protons is higher. Hence it has a positive charge making it a cation. Remember all metals give away electrons to get a positive charge.
What element that is a metal has 28 electrons?
The element with atomic number 28 is Nickel (Ni). It is a transition metal in period 4 of the Periodic Table. It is the first element in the Nickel family. It has 28 electrons in 4 shells with 2 electrons in the outer shell.

How do you know that nickel has a plus two charge?
because it will have more electrons add electrons= add charge

What element has 28 protons 30 neutrons and 28 electrons?
Nickel (Ni) is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Ni and atomic number 28. Nickel has: protons=28 neutrons=30 electrons=28 atomic mass=58 atomic #=28
Does nickel have a positive charge?
Yes nickel is a cation. the formula for Nickel would be Ni+ for Nickel II it would be Ni+2 and for Nickel III it would be Ni+3

The atomic number 28 means what?
This chemical element has 28 protons and electrons; this element is nickel.
What number atomically links nickel with silicon approximately?
The atomic number of nickel (28) is twice that of silicon. (Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus and is equal to the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
What is the charge of nickel when two electrons are lost?
Ni 2+...............this does not help at all
