All elements in column 2 of the Periodic Table consistently form ions with a charge of two plus. This column is commonly referred to as the Alkaline Earth Metals. please feel free to send me a trust point if this was helpful =]
What else can I help you with?
What is the identity of element Q if the ion Q2 contains 10 electrons?
Element Q is oxygen, with an atomic number of 8. Since the ion Q2 contains 10 electrons, it has gained 2 electrons, making it a negatively charged ion.
Is Ca plus 2 an ion?
No, "Ca plus 2" is not correct notation for an ion. The correct notation would be Ca^2+, which represents a calcium ion with a 2+ charge due to the loss of two electrons.
A cation of calcium has a 2 plus charge how many electrons does it have?
calcium has 20 electrons.when it loses 2 electrons, it has 18 electrons.
What element has 2 electrons and a charge of negative 1?
The element with 2 electrons and a charge of -1 is helium. It typically has a charge of 0, but can gain an extra electron to have a -1 charge.
How many electrons does an ion of beryllium have if it has a -2 charge?
Beryllium is element 4, so the "neutral" atom would have 4 protons and 4 electrons. In order to have a "-2" charge, it would need 6 electrons.
The element that forms a 2 plus ion with the same electronic configuration as Ar?
The element that forms a 2+ ion with the same electronic configuration as Ar is Calcium (Ca). When Calcium loses two electrons, it attains the same electronic configuration as argon by having a full outer shell of electrons.
An ion that has 18e- and a net charge of plus 2?
Since the anion has a 2- charge, it must have two more electrons than protons. The number of protons is 18 - 2, which is 16. Since the element has 16 protons, it is element 16, which is sulfur (S).
What is the identity of element Q if the ion Q2 contains 10 electrons?
Element Q is oxygen, with an atomic number of 8. Since the ion Q2 contains 10 electrons, it has gained 2 electrons, making it a negatively charged ion.
How many electrons are in an Mg2 plus ion?
An Mg2+ ion has lost two electrons, resulting in a total of 10 electrons. Magnesium normally has 12 electrons but when it forms a 2+ ion, it loses two electrons.
Does an element that loses 3 electrons have a charge of plus 2?
If an atom loses 3 electrons, it gets a charge of +3. (One positive charge for every electron lost). If an atom loses 2 electrons, it gets a charge of +2.
How many protons and electrons in Be2 plus ION?
Beryllium (Be) has 4 protons and 4 electrons in its neutral state. When it forms the Be2+ ion, it loses two electrons, leaving it with 4 protons and 2 electrons. The Be2+ ion has a 2+ charge because it has lost two negatively charged electrons.
What ion has 52 protons 76 neutrons and 54 electrons?
The ion with 52 protons, 76 neutrons, and 54 electrons is the ion of element tellurium (Te) with a charge of +2. The number of protons determines the element, the number of neutrons can vary in isotopes, and the number of electrons determines the charge of the ion.
What element has 8 protons and 10 electrons?
No neutral element has these characteristics. However, the oxide ion, O-2, does have them.
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
Is Ca plus 2 an ion?
No, "Ca plus 2" is not correct notation for an ion. The correct notation would be Ca^2+, which represents a calcium ion with a 2+ charge due to the loss of two electrons.
What is the charge of the ion with 27 protons and 25 electrons?
An ion of copper, Cu+2, has 27 electrons and a charge of +2. The copper atom has loaned out (or had borrowed from it) in a chemical reaction, those 2 electrons. An ion is formed any time the number of electrons an atom has does not equal the number of protons in its nucleus. The 2 electrons plus 27 electrons makes 29 electrons - just the number that are present in a neutral atom of copper.
