How many electrons does anion P have?
The phosphide ion has 18 electrons as it forms an anion with the valency of three.
What is the ionic charge of an ion with 15 protons and 18 electrons?
3+
If an atom has 15 protons 14 neutrons and 18 electrons what is the atoms electrical charge?
'-3' It is not an atom, when it is a charged species, but an ION. 15 protons (15+) 18 electrons (18-) Hence +15 - 18 = -3 The charge. By the numbers given , this is the element Phosphorus. , which can exhibit a 'P^(-3) ion.
What is the charge of an ion with 15 protons and 18 electrons?
15 protons is a dead giveaway that we're dealing with phosphorus (it is atomic number 15). 18 electrons means it has 3 extra (18-15 = 3) electrons, each electron has a -1 charge, so we have 3 extra -1 charges...So putting it all together we get: P3-
Ca2 plus has how many electrons?
Calcium normally has 20 electrons. Because it has a plus 2 charge, it must have two less electrons. Therefore, the calcium ion has 18 electrons.
How many unpaired electrons does phosphorus with the charge of negative three have?
18. Phosphorus posses 15 electrons and 15 protons, respectively its charge is 0.By accepting 3 more electrons, with their negative charge the total charge of the atom would decrease by 3.So the total charge would be -3 and the total number of electrons would be 18.
What element has a 3 and ndash charge when it has 18 electrons?
Are you referring to P, phosphorous?
How many electrons does anion P have?

What is the element with charge if needed with 23 protons 28 neutrons and 18 electrons with a net charge of 3 plus?
No element or ion as stated can exist, because if it contains 23 protons and only 18 electrons, its net charge must be 23 - 18 = 5 plus, not 3 plus.
Why does CI have 18 electrons when its ion is -1 charge?
because chlorine has 17 protons contributing to a +17 charge, 18 electrons have a -18 charge, 17-18 = -1 which is the overall charge of the ion

What is the symbol for 18 electrons and a net charge of 3 plus?
Sc3+. Scandium has an atomic number of 21, in Sc3+ the number of electrons is 3 less as it is positively charged.
Ca2 plus has how many electrons?
Calcium normally has 20 electrons. Because it has a plus 2 charge, it must have two less electrons. Therefore, the calcium ion has 18 electrons.
The number of electrons is an ion with 20 protons and an ionic chargebof 2- is?
Electrons have a negative charge. Thus, a species with more electrons than protons will have a negative charge. The compound with 20 protons and a minus two charge must therefore have 22 electrons.
If Chlorine has 17 protons and negative one charge how many electrons does it have?
The answer is 18 electrons.
