Are you referring to P, phosphorous?
There is no element with a "charge of 18". Charges are determined by electrons, so for an atom to have a charge of ±18, it would have to lose or gain 18 electrons - something an atom wouldn't do. Perhaps you mean atomic number of 18, which would be argon or Ar.
No element or ion as stated can exist, because if it contains 23 protons and only 18 electrons, its net charge must be 23 - 18 = 5 plus, not 3 plus.
because chlorine has 17 protons contributing to a +17 charge, 18 electrons have a -18 charge, 17-18 = -1 which is the overall charge of the ion
Ionof Element number 19 is the potassium ion: K+Since 19(p+) - 18(e-) = 1+
Most probably 10 electrons as a phosphide ion with 3-charge has 8 valence electrons.
'-3' It is not an atom, when it is a charged species, but an ION. 15 protons (15+) 18 electrons (18-) Hence +15 - 18 = -3 The charge. By the numbers given , this is the element Phosphorus. , which can exhibit a 'P^(-3) ion.
18. Phosphorus posses 15 electrons and 15 protons, respectively its charge is 0.By accepting 3 more electrons, with their negative charge the total charge of the atom would decrease by 3.So the total charge would be -3 and the total number of electrons would be 18.
Yes. Argon is the only neutral element with 18 electrons. However, there can be other ions that can be isoelectronic (having same number of electrons) with argon. Cations such as K+, Ca2+ or Sc3+ have 18 electrons. Anions such as Cl-, S2- or P3- have 18 electrons.
Argon is a non metal element. There are 18 electrons in a single atom.
Look at the periodic table. You see that the element that has 16 protons is Sulfur. Electrons have a single negative charge, while protons have a single positive charge, so an ion with 2 more electrons than protons will have a charge of 2-. So, the symbol of the ion would be S2- .
