Ni 2+...............this does not help at all
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
2+
26. Nickel has an atomic number of 28, which means that in a normal state, it would have 28 electrons. Ni+2 means that it oxidized by losing two electrons and would thus have only 26 remaining.
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.
An atom that loses two electrons will form a cation with a +2 charge. For example, sodium can form a Na+ cation by losing two electrons.
because it will have more electrons add electrons= add charge
Nickel has two unpaired electrons.
+2 is the charge represented Cu2+
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
Ferrous ion (Fe2+) carries a 2+ charge because it has lost two electrons. Ferric ion (Fe3+) carries a 3+ charge because it has lost three electrons. The number of electrons lost determines the charge of the ion.
2+
Calcium-40 with a 2+ charge has lost two electrons, making it a Ca2+ ion. This ion contains 20 protons, as in all calcium atoms, and 18 electrons (since it lost two electrons).
26. Nickel has an atomic number of 28, which means that in a normal state, it would have 28 electrons. Ni+2 means that it oxidized by losing two electrons and would thus have only 26 remaining.
They are lost. If it has a plus sign beside the ion charge, that means the atom loses electrons. But if it has a negative sign for the ion charge, that means that the atom gains electrons.
When magnesium loses its two electrons, it forms a magnesium ion with a charge of +2. This occurs because the neutral magnesium atom has 12 protons and 12 electrons, and losing two electrons results in a net positive charge. Therefore, the final charge of the magnesium ion is +2, represented as Mg²⁺.
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.
True, it lost its only two electrons, which makes it consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons
