Protons = 16
Electrons = 18
A Sulfide ion has a full complement of 8 valence electrons. Sulfur is element 16. It has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level, however, sufide is S2- so it has gained 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.
Krypton (Kr) has the same number of electrons as a sulfide ion. Both have 36 electrons.
An oxide ion has 8 protons. This is because it is an oxygen atom that has gained 2 electrons to become negatively charged. The number of protons remains the same as the number of protons in a neutral oxygen atom.
If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative. If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
An ion. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom gains a positive charge and is called a cation. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom gains a negative charge and is called an anion.
A sulfide ion has 16 protons and 18 electrons. The additional electron gives the ion a negative charge, making the number of electrons greater than the number of protons.
The sulfide ion (S²⁻) has 16 protons and 18 electrons. This is because the element sulfur (S) normally has 16 protons and 16 electrons, but by gaining two extra electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, it becomes the sulfide ion with 18 electrons.
A sulfide ion (S2-) has 16 protons. This is because the sulfide ion carries a charge of -2, indicating that it has gained two extra electrons, and thus has 16 protons in its nucleus as the number of protons always determines the element.
16 protons and 18 electrons
it has 2 more electrons than protons.
S for sulfur because the number of protons tells you the atomic number with is 16 and 16 is sulfur. The electrons means it is an ion with two more electrons than protons. The neutrons have no charge but add mass to the element.
The sulfide ion, S2-.
The Sulfide ion, S2-, is isoelectronic with Cl-
Lithium ion is Li^1+ and the number of protons is 3 and the number of electrons is 2.
A Sulfide ion has a full complement of 8 valence electrons. Sulfur is element 16. It has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level, however, sufide is S2- so it has gained 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.
Krypton (Kr) has the same number of electrons as a sulfide ion. Both have 36 electrons.
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
