The atomic number of copper is 29. Thus, neutral copper would have 29 protons and 29 electrons. However, since we're dealing with Cu2+, we need to subtract 2 electrons from that number, leaving us with 27.
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
26 protons
Because Electrons have a negative charge (e-) and Protons have a positive charge (p+), so to create a balanced atom you must have the same number of e- as p+
The element that has half as many protons as zinc would be copper. Zinc has 30 protons, while copper has 29 protons. This means that copper has one less proton than zinc, making it the element with half as many protons.
When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.
The number of protons in silicon is 14. The amount of protons in an element can impact its positive charge.

A proton has single positive charge neutrons have no charge and a electron has a single negative charge
An atom of copper has 29 protons.
A neutral atom has as many electrons as protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, but because there are the same number of them, they cancel each other out.
i think it depends how many electrons it has. then you do something like subtract the electrons from the protons. electrons are negative, protons are positive.
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps

Copper has 29 Protons
Zinc (Zn) typically has 30 protons in its nucleus. However, with a positive 2 charge, it has lost two electrons, leaving it with a net charge of +2. This does not change the number of protons, which remains at 30.
There are 35 protons in copper-64 (64Cu). Copper has 29 protons. Copper-64 is not a natural isotope. It is a radioactive isotope that can be created artificially, with a half-life of about 12.7 hours.
