The nitrite ion (NO2-) has a formal charge of -1 on the nitrogen atom and 0 on each oxygen atom. This can be calculated by considering the number of valence electrons in each atom and the number of electrons assigned to each atom in the Lewis structure of the ion.
Yes, the oxidation number of an ion is equal to the number of valence electrons the ion contains. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, and they are involved in forming chemical bonds, which also determines the oxidation state of an ion.
Sodium ion (Na+) has 10 valence electrons and oxygen ion (O2-) has 8 valence electrons.
1 pair. which means 2 nonbonding electrons.

Type your answer here... The number of valence electrons in calcium is 20, because it's almost the same thing as it's atomic number.
1 pair. which means 2 nonbonding electrons.
No, you should subtract the ion charge from the total number of valence electrons of the neutral atom to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion. This is because a positive ion has lost electrons compared to the neutral atom.
Helium has two valence electrons. O6+ ion (a hypothetical ion) will also have 2 valence electrons.
if you are asking about ICl4- ion then there are 28 valence electrons and 8 binding ones.total of 36 electrons

The calcium atom (Ca) loses two valence electrons to form a calcium ion (Ca2+).
5, because the charge indicates the number in the valence orbital (outer shell).
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, phosphorus has 5 valence electrons, and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. So, if you totaled all of the valence electrons in the ion HPO42- you'd get 1 + 5 + 6 X 4 + 2 = 32. However, you should realize that the term "valence electron" really only applies to individual atoms, not compounds. The only electrons one would concern themselves with in the HPO42- ion are the 2 that make it an ion.
