Zn2+. Subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number, which gives us 30 protons in the nucleus, which is Zn (zinc). The Zn atom is light two electrons, which gives it a positive charge of 2. Zn2+ is a monoatomic ion because it contains only one atom.

As a side note, zinc is a metal, and metals typically form cations (net positive charge). Non-metals typically form anions (net negative charge, ex. N3-).

How do you name nuclide?

When you name a nuclide, you give two pieces of information: the element name, and the mass number. For example, uranium-235, plutonium-239, cesium-137, technetium-99, fluorine-18, galium-67, iodine-123.


How do you use the symbol of an element to work out the number of protons neutrons and electrons in an atom?

The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number, which corresponds to the position of the element in the periodic table. To find the number of neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. The number of electrons is typically equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.


The number of protons and neutrons in an atom?

Depends on the atom. The atomic number will give you the number of protons. The atomic weight will give you approximately the number of protons and neutrons combined.


When you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass it will give you the number of what?

the protrons, neutrons and electrons in a atom


What is the difference about the nucleus of a radioactive atom?

There is a simple difference between a nucleus and a nucleon. A nucleus is at the center of an atom, and it is that collection of particles, protons and neutrons, that make up the nucleus of that atom. Because atomic nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons, we have come up with the term nucleon to describe any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means either a proton or a neutron, when we talk about them as part of the nucleus of an atom, can be properly called a nucleon. The nucleus of an atom is said to be made up of nucleons. It's just that simple.


Protons and neutrons in the nucleus add up to give the?

The number of protons added to the number of neutrons in a nucleus give that isotope's atomic weight.


Which numbers are added to give the nucleon number of an ion?

No need to add. Use the elemnts mass number, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons


What is atomic mass number minus protons?

atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons


How can you solve of number of neutrons?

You can determine the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number). This will give you the number of neutrons in the atom.


Hydrogen has no number of neutrons even then it exists how give reason?

Neutrons are not a requirement for an element to exist.


What does the atomic mass give you the number of?

It gives the number of nucleons = protons + neutrons.


How many neutrons are in Chromium - 54?

For any element, this is answered in the same way. The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, in this case 50. The atomic number is the number of protons. Subtract the atomic number from the mass number to give the number of neutrons. For any element, this is answered in the same way.
