The number of protons = atomic number

The number of electrons = atomic number - net ion charge (no charge means not ion)

The number of neutrons = mass number - atomic numberAlways start with protons if they are given. If they are not given, use the other numbers to figure out how many protons there are. The 9 protons in this question immediately tell you that the atomic number is 9. This is a dead giveaway as to which element is being discussed. Just look on the Periodic Table for the atomic number of 9, which is... Flourine! The number of electrons will tell you whether this is an ion or not. Ions are not stable (neutral). This means that they have a negative or positive charge. If you know how to draw a shell diagram, you can place the electrons. If all shells are filled completely and there are no extra electrons in unfilled outer shell, then it is not an ion.

What monotomic ion has 26 protons 30 neutrons and 24 electrons?

The given number of protons and electrons indicates that the ion is iron (Fe). Since the ion is neutral, the number of protons determines the element, making it iron. The number of neutrons does not affect the identity of the element since it can vary while still belonging to the same element.


Number of protons neutrons and electrons in zinc?

When it comes to zinc, the amount of neutrons is considerably higher than the number of protons and electrons. In zinc there are 30 protons include, 35 neutrons and 30 electrons. Unless you are dealing with Ion, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
