The atomic number is 2, and the atomic mass is 4 (helium)
No. Atomic Number is defined as the number of positive protons, and when a ion is formed(irrespective of cation or anion) only negative electrons will be lost or added hence the proton number is constant.
The element is calcium and the cation is Ca2+ ion
Atomic number = Number of protons. So addition of neutron has no affect on the atomic number.Isotopes of the same element are formed by the change in neutrons.
The atomic number of magnesium is 12. The cation loses two electrons for 10.
11. The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom, including a cation. In this case, the Sodium cation has 11 protons like the Sodium atom.
The atomic number of the cation is the same as the atomic number of the neutral atom.

The element with 10 electrons when it forms a cation with a 1 plus charge is Neon (Ne). Neon has an atomic number of 10, which means it has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The cation is formed when an electron is removed from Neon, leaving it with 9 protons and 1 electron, giving it a 1+ charge. Neon's atomic number: 10 Neon's electrons when forming a cation: 10 Neon's protons when forming a cation: 9 Neon's charge when forming a cation: 1+
No, the atomic number does not change when an ion is formed. The number of protons does not change when an ion is formed, so the atomic mass would not change.
H2S is formed
chemical reactions are involved by the participation of electrons only.During chemical reaction number of protans remains as it is. No change in number of protans.Number of protans is also called atomic number.So no change in number of protans means no change in atomic number. That's why atomic number is not change during a chemical reaction.
The atomic number of an atom does not change if the atom is converted into an anion or cation. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and this is not affected by the transfer of electrons that produces ionization of an atom.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, sodium's atomic number is always 11, even if it loses 1 electron. However, when a sodium atom loses 1 electron, it will form an ion with a 1+ charge.
