+1
The charge on a carbonate ion is -2; therefore, the ion has two more electrons than protons.
The charge is +2 but this ion doesn't exist.
Sodium has one outer shell electron that it wants to lose. If it loses one electron, then there is more protons than electrons and the overall ion is positive. Because only one electron was lost, the charge is Na+1
Minus 2
There are more protons than electrons, and since protons are positive, the ion will be positive. Because there are two more protons, the charge is +2.
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
A sodium atom contains eleven electrons and has a net neutral electrical charge, because the atom also contains eleven protons. A sodium ion contains only ten electrons and has an electrical charge of +1, because it also contains 11 protons.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.
An atom is a particle that has the same number of protons as electrons. For example sodium. A sodium atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons. A sodium ion might have 11 protons and 10 electrons, so it would have a charge of +1. If a sodium ion had 10 protons and 11 electrons, it would have a charge of-1.
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
It has 3 more protons than electrons. Protons are 1+ and electrons are 1-. So the charge on the hypothetical ion would be 3+
Remember.. I f there are more electrons than protons in an ion the charge will be negative. Here there is a -4 charge because the electrons are higher than the protons, if it were the opposite the charge would be +4.
It has a positive (+) charge.
It has a positive (+) charge.
