Why does a element have a plus 2 charge?

An element you have a +2 charge It is had lost electrons. It would have to lose the same number of electrons that its positive charge is. So it would have lost 2 electrons.


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.


If an atom loses 2 electrons when it forms an ion its ionic charge it is said to be?

What element has 10 electrons when it form a cation with a 1 plus charge?

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+


What element is oxidized in 4Al plus 302 yields 2Al203?

Al is oxidized because it loses electrons , O is reduced because it gains electrons.


How does an atom of potassium-41 become a potassium ion with a plus charge?

An atom of potassium-41 becomes a potassium ion with a plus charge by losing one electron. Potassium-41 has 19 electrons in its neutral state, but when it loses one electron, it becomes a potassium ion (K+) with a plus charge and 18 electrons.


What element forms a 3 plus ion with ten electrons?

The element that forms a 3+ ion with ten electrons is sodium (Na). Sodium has 11 protons and normally has 11 electrons, but when it loses 3 electrons to form a 3+ ion, it has a total of 10 electrons.

A cation of calcium has a 2 plus charge how many electrons does it have?

calcium has 20 electrons.when it loses 2 electrons, it has 18 electrons.


What is the charge of a sodium ion if it loses 1 electron?

The charge of a sodium ion when it loses 1 electron is +1. Sodium is a group 1 element, so it has 1 electron in its outer shell. When it loses this electron, it becomes a positively charged ion with a charge of +1.
