What is the mass number of an ion with 107 electrons 159 neutrons and a plus 1 charge in integer form?

If the ion has a +1 charge and has 107 electrons, that means that it originally had 108 electrons, and therefore has 108 protons. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons, 108 + 159, and therefore is equal to 267.

Must the number of electrons in an atom equal the number of neutrons?
Neutral atoms do, but ions (atoms with charges) by definition do not.
Can the mass number of an element be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
No. The mass number can be used, however, to determine the number of neutrons. Electrons can only be determined by knowing the atom's charge.
If an atom has 3 protons 3 neutrons and 2 electrons what is the electrical charge of the atom?
It is only possible to state that that an atom with a charge of -2 has two electrons more than it has protons in its nucleus. It is impossible to determine how many protons it has unless you state the specific element in question, and the number of neutrons will depend upon the particular isotope of that element.
What is the number of electrons and neutrons in fluorine?
In a neutral atom of fluorine, there are 9 electrons. The number of neutrons varies with an isotope's mass number.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in sulfur?
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
Where are the protonselectronsand neutrons in the atom?
Protons have a positive charge Neutrons have no charge Electrons have a negative charge Protons and Neutrons are found in the nuclei of atoms, while Electrons orbit in layers. Neutrons separate the Protons so that they never touch each other. The number of Protons defines which element you have The number of neutrons defines the isotope you have The number of Electrons defines the charged ion you have
A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
What identifies the number of an atom?
An atom consists of protons (positive charge), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negative charge). The atomic number is the number of protons. Furthermore, the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
What has to be true about the protons and the electrons on an atom that is neutrral?
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
What is the charge of an atom that has 3 portons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons?
The charge is zero because the number of protons and electrons is equal.
If an atom has 15 protons 13 neutrons and 18 electrons what is the atom's electrical charge?
the nucleus always has a positive charge. The atom on the other hand in its singular state will have no charge as the electrons negative charge counter the protons positive charge. in this example there will be 31 electrons The element would be Gallium but there are not enough neutrons in your question to even make a viable isotope. Gallium typically has 31 protons and 39 neutrons
What is the charge on an atom that has five protons nine neutrons and seven electrons?
It would have a negative charge, since the number of electrons - that have approximately the same amount of negative charge as the proton's positive charge in magnitude - is more than the number of protons. Neutrons have no charge (i.e. neutral).
What is the net charge of iron with 26 protons 30 neutrons and 23 electrons?
Atomic Number: This is the number of protons an element has. Answer: 26 Atomic Mass: Ignoring electrons, which are incredibly small and don't have much of an effect on the mass... This is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons Answer: 56 (26 protons + 30 neutrons) Net Charge: Protons are positive and electrons are negative. The net charge can be found by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. 0 is neutral. Answer: +3 (26 protons - 23 electrons)
What do the dots represent and what does the number of dot tell us about each atom?
There are three kinds of "dots" in a atom. Electrons, neutrons, protons. Electrons have a negative charge, neutrons have no charge, and protons have a positive charge. The numbers of dots represent what kind of atom it is, as on the periodic table of the elements. The atomic number and mass tells you how many electrons/neutrons/or protons there are.
What does protons electrons neutrons mean?
Electrons, protons, and neutrons are different parts of an atom. The proton is positive and the electron is negative while the neutron is of both equally. Depending on the number of each is in an atom, is the type of atom you have.
What does is mean to say a charge is quantized?
It means the charge is an integer multiple of some basic charge. If the charge consists of a certain number electrons, you can have 1 electron, 2 electrons, 3 electrons, etc., but you can't have 1.5 electrons, or pi electrons.
