Ti2- would be the symbol for an ion with 22 protons and 24 electrons. This would be EXTREMELY unlikely to exist though. Ti2+ is more usual with 22 protons and 20 electrons. Ti4+ is even more stable with 22 protons and 18 electrons.
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.
The nuclear symbol would be ^44Ti, representing the element titanium, since the atomic number (number of protons) is 22 (20 electrons + 2 protons) and the mass number (protons + neutrons) is 44 (22 protons + 24 neutrons).
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
Argon has 18 electrons and protons...Neutrons is 22
That means the charge is neither positive nor negative, it is neutral. Such an atomhas the same number of protons and electrons. If the charge is not zero then it is called an ion rather than an atom.
20 protons indicate that the particle has an atomic number of 20 and is thus, calcium Ca. Since it has two more protons than it has electrons it must have a charge of 2+. So, the symbol will be Ca2+.
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.
22
12 + 10 = 22 charge
12 + 10 = 22 charge
The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). In this case, the ion would have a charge of +1 since it has 1 more proton than electrons.
The nuclear symbol would be ^44Ti, representing the element titanium, since the atomic number (number of protons) is 22 (20 electrons + 2 protons) and the mass number (protons + neutrons) is 44 (22 protons + 24 neutrons).
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. Since the neutral atom has 22 electrons, it also has 22 protons to balance the charge. Therefore, the atomic number of the atom is 22.
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
Argon has 18 electrons and protons...Neutrons is 22
Protons: 21 Neutrons: 29 Electrons: Normally 21
That means the charge is neither positive nor negative, it is neutral. Such an atomhas the same number of protons and electrons. If the charge is not zero then it is called an ion rather than an atom.
