9. The proton count remains the same; ionization is merely an electron dependent process. An F- ion has 10 electrons in its cloud.

Difference between Na and Na plus?

Na+ will be a sodium atom that has lost an electron. Normally in atoms the amount of protons and electrons are equal, when you see a plus or minus charge on an atom its due to the loss or gain of electrons.


The atomic number of an atom indicates the number of?

The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. In the case of a neutral atom (as opposed to an ion), the atomic number is also equal to the total number of electrons.


If a plus 1 ion has 29 protons what element is it?

If a +1 ion has 29 protons, it is the element copper (Cu). It has an atomic number of 29, which corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus.


O2- has how many protons?

The thing that separates one element from the other is how many protons the nucleus has. It doesn't matter what the superscript is. Therefore O2- will have 8 protons but 10 electrons instead of 8.


Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?

Yes, the number of protons in an atom and its ion of lithium is the same. Lithium always has 3 protons in its nucleus, regardless of whether it is in its neutral atom form (Li) or as an ion with a different number of electrons.


In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?

The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.


How many protons nucleus have?

It depends on what atom it is, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or ion defines what type of atom it is.


What is the total number of protons in the nucleus of an F-ion?

9. The proton count remains the same; ionization is merely an electron dependent process. An F- ion has 10 electrons in its cloud.


What is the number of protons in potassium ion?

There are 19 protons in a potassium atom, ion, and isotope. All isotopes and ions of the same elements will have the same number of protons regardless of the difference in the number of neutrons or electrons.


What is total charge of an atom?

Short Answer:The total charge of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus, minus the number of electrons around the nucleus. Normally, atoms have as many protons as electrons and the atom is neutral, otherwise, it is a negative ion with a charge of -1, -2, etc if it has extra electrons or +1, +2 etc if it is missing electrons and is a positive ion.Explanation:Atoms have a positively charged nucleus and a collection of negatively charged electrons around the nucleus. Because each proton in the nucleus has a positive charge of exactly the same size as the negative charge of an electron, when the normal atom has as many electrons as protons, the total charge of the atom is zero. It is a neutral atom.If there is one more electron than than the number of protons, there is a net negative charge of -1. If the atom is missing an electron, the total charge is +1.If an atom has one or more extra electrons, we say it is a negative ion and the total charge of the ion is -1 or -2 or "-" the number of extra electrons.If an atom is one or more electrons, we say it is a positive ion and the total charge of the ion is +1 or +2 or "+" the number of missing electrons, i.e. the excess number of protons.Total Charge = (number of protons) - (number of electrons).


How many protons does an oxygen ion have?

An element's atomic number gives its number of protons. Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus, it has 8 protons.


What is the rule for determining the mass number of an atom or ion?

The mass number of an atom or ion is determined by adding together the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Protons and neutrons contribute roughly the same amount of mass to an atom, so the mass number gives a good approximation of the atomic mass.
