There are 50 electrons in a sulfate ion.
16 in the sulfur
8 in each of the 4 oxygen
2 for the negative charge
so the total electrons are 50

What would be the total number of electrons present in a theoretical atom of Uuo-291?
The number of electrons will be 118.
How many electrons present in a sulfate ion how many electrons are present for bonding in a sulfate ion?
A sulfate ion consists of one sulfur atom, four oxygen atoms, and two "excess" electrons from another source. Each sulfur atom has 16 electrons, each oxygen atom has 8 electrons, so that the total is 16 + (4 X 8) + 2 = 50. The question of "bonding electrons" is not quite so clear. When acting as an ion, each sulfate ions has two electrons available for ionic bonding. Internal bonding within each sulfate ion is generally supposed to correspond to two sulfur-oxygen double bonds with four bonding electrons each, two sulfur-oxygen single bonds with two bonding electrons each, and the two excess electrons, for a total of 14.
For a neutral atom what is its atomic number equivalent to?
Total number of protons AND the total number of electrons.
Is the number of valence electrons equal to the number of protons?
No, the number of total electrons is equal to the number of protons.
How many total electrons are present when Chlorine is in its ionized state?
Less than at standard
What is the total number of electrons available for bonding in the polyatomic anion sulfate SO4-2?
32

What is the total number of electrons present in an Mg 2 plus cation?
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
Is it true that to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion you should add the ion charge to the total number of valence electrons of the atoms present?
yes
What is the total number of electrons present in a Oxygen?
there are 8 electrons in an oxygen atom, equal to the number of protons. there are 6 valence electrons though, give or take because they constantly switch
How do you find an atomic mass?
It is nothing but the total no of protons and electrons .So it is found by summing the total no protons and electrons present in an atom It is not electrons but the total of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of any atom.
A sulfide ion S2- has how many protons?
The number of protons of an element does not change when it undergoes a chemical change. It is the number of electrons that changes. Sulfur has 16 protons, and so does the sulfide ion. However, sulfur has 16 electrons, while the sulfide ion (S2-) has 18 electrons.
What can be determined if only the atomic number of an item is known?
the total number of protons and the total number of electrons in the atom
How many total electrons can be present in the third principle energy level?
18 electrons.
Is an atoms number of protons is always the same as its number of valence electrons?
For neutral atoms, the electron number is always the same as the proton number.For ions, charged atoms, the proton number is different than the electron number by the charge (e.g. a hydrogen ion, H(+1) has 1 proton and 0 electrons, 1 more proton than electrons).
What is the total number or electrons of carbon?
6 electrons
