+4 On the Periodic Table, all elements are neutral. And that is the key to this problem.
Lead (Pb) on the periodic table has an atomic number of 82. Therefore it has 82 protons. How many electrons would it need to be a neutral atom then? Obviously, 82! So if we have 82 electors and 82 protons we have neutral lead, but we don't have 82 electrons we only have 78. Therefore neutral lead lost negatively charged electrons. When you lose a negative you become more positive.
So we have a charge of +4, since 82-78=4.
In general the solution to this problem is:
(Atomic Number) - (Number of Electrons) = (Net Charge)

What is symbol of ion with 86 electrons 142 neutrons 4 charge?
This is the ion Th4+
What is the total charge of electrons in a sodium ion?
A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.
Why doesnt An atom has no electrical charge?
because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
If oxygen gains 2 electrons what charge will it have?
It would have a negative charge. It would be a negative ion with a 2+ charge.Remember: when an atom gains electrons they become NEGATIVE.when an atom loses electrons they become POSITIVE.
How many electrons does plus 4 of lead ion have?
78, lead has atomic number of 82
What is the total number of electrons in an Pb plus 4?
Pb which is neutral has 82 electrons. Thus, if it has a 4+ charge, then it has 78 electrons.
How many electrons are in platinum?
When it has no charge there are 78.the number of electrons is always equal to the number of protons, both are the atomic number. the atomic number of platinum is 78, so 78 electrons and 78 protons too.
What is the charge of the ion typically formed by lead when it loses 4 electrons?
Natural lead is an electrically neutral atom. Thus, when it loses 4 electrons it loses 4 units of negative charge. This gives the lead ion 4 units of positive charge, or Pb4+.
What is the ion with 82 protons and 80 electrons?
The element lead (Pb).Related Information:Only neutral lead (no charge) has 82 electrons.
How many protons and electrons does lead 2 plus have?
Lead will always have 82 protons. If it has a 2+ charge, that means there are 2 more protons than electrons, so there are 80 electrons.
How many electrons does Pb have?
Atomic number of lead (Pb) is 82. So there are 82 protons and 82 electrons
