Copper's atomic number is 29. Thus, copper has 29 protons per atom. To be electrically neutral then, it must also have 29 electrons per atom.

Copper (Cu) has one 3d electron.


How many electrons in the following isotope Cu 59?

Copper (Cu) has an atomic number of 29, which means it has 29 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, the isotope Cu-59 also has 29 electrons.


How many electrons and protons are found in the Cu plus cation?

The Cu+ cation is formed when a copper atom loses one electron. Therefore, it has one more proton than electrons. So, the Cu+ cation has 29 protons and 28 electrons.

Copper, Cu, has 29 electrons.


What is the net charge of copper atom if it gain two electrons?

Cu(2-) does not exist, because Cu does not gain electrons at all being a metal. When it gives off two electrons Cu(2+) ions are formed.


What is the total number of moles of electrons lost by the copper as it completely reacts with 8 moles of nitric acid?

For the reaction between copper and nitric acid, the balanced equation is: 3Cu + 8HNO3 -> 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO + 4H2O Since each mole of Cu loses 2 moles of electrons, and there are 3 moles of Cu in the balanced equation, the total number of moles of electrons lost by Cu is 6 moles (3 moles of Cu x 2 moles of electrons/mole of Cu = 6 moles of electrons).


Is Zn CuCl2ZnCl2 Cu a redox reaction?

Yes, the reaction Zn + CuCl2 → ZnCl2 + Cu is a redox reaction. In this process, zinc (Zn) is oxidized as it loses electrons and is converted to ZnCl2, while copper ions (Cu²⁺) from CuCl2 are reduced as they gain electrons to form elemental copper (Cu). The transfer of electrons between zinc and copper ions characterizes the redox nature of the reaction.


What element only has 29 electrons?

The element with 29 protons (and therefore 29 electrons) is copper.
