The number of protons in an element does not depend on the charge of the element. An atom of a given element has the same number of protons as an isotope of that element. Thus, a calcium ion has 20 protons, just like atoms in calcium metal.

How many electrons are lost when ca plus 2 is formed?

When a calcium ion (Ca^2+) is formed, two electrons are lost. This is because calcium has 20 protons and electrons in its neutral state, but when it loses two electrons to form Ca^2+, it now has 18 electrons.

How many protons and electrons does lead 2 plus have?

Lead will always have 82 protons. If it has a 2+ charge, that means there are 2 more protons than electrons, so there are 80 electrons.


How many protons does magnesium 2 plus have?

Magnesium has 12 protons. Bear in mind that ionization has no effect on the number of protons, so the "2 plus" is unnecessary. Magnesium always has 12 protons, that is the definition of magnesium.


How many protons does Hafnium 138 with a plus 2 charge have?

The atomic number of hafnium is 72. So there is 72 protons.


A positive two ion of calcium Ca would have how many protons electrons and neutrons?

A positive calcium ion (Ca^2+) has 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons. This is because the atomic number of calcium is 20, indicating 20 protons in a neutral atom, and losing 2 electrons makes it positively charged while the number of protons and neutrons remains the same.
