Since the anion has a 2- charge, it must have two more electrons than protons. The number of protons is 18 - 2, which is 16. Since the element has 16 protons, it is element 16, which is sulfur (S).

Why a sodium ion has a charge of 1 plus?

A sodium ion has a charge of 1+ because it has lost one electron, leaving it with one more proton than electrons. Protons have a positive charge, whereas electrons have a negative charge, so losing an electron results in a net positive charge for the sodium ion.


How do you find net charge?

The net charge is the total amount of charge that the ion will have. So you will find out the charge of each group and add them all together for the net charge.

What is the element with charge if needed with 23 protons 28 neutrons and 18 electrons with a net charge of 3 plus?

The element is vanadium (V) because it has 23 protons. With 18 electrons and a net charge of 3 plus, it would have lost 3 electrons, resulting in a net charge of +3. The number of neutrons (28) does not affect the charge or identity of the element.
