How many ions are in carbon?

Carbon typically forms no ions because it is an element with 6 protons and 6 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge. However, in certain chemical reactions, carbon can gain or lose electrons to form ions.


What elements can form a positive ion?

Elements can form a positive ion by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals are more likely to form positive ions by losing electrons, while nonmetals tend to gain or share electrons to form negative ions.


How many valence electrons does ethanol have?

I'm not sure this question has any meaning. That is, the words each mean something, but when you arrange them in this way, it's sort of like asking what color five is.


Many elements bond to carbon by exchanging electrons?

Carbon can form covalent bonds with other elements by sharing electrons. This results in stable molecules with a full outer electron shell. Carbon can also form ionic bonds by transferring or accepting electrons, resulting in charged ions that attract each other.


How many electrons present in a sulfate ion how many electrons are present for bonding in a sulfate ion?

A sulfate ion consists of one sulfur atom, four oxygen atoms, and two "excess" electrons from another source. Each sulfur atom has 16 electrons, each oxygen atom has 8 electrons, so that the total is 16 + (4 X 8) + 2 = 50. The question of "bonding electrons" is not quite so clear. When acting as an ion, each sulfate ions has two electrons available for ionic bonding. Internal bonding within each sulfate ion is generally supposed to correspond to two sulfur-oxygen double bonds with four bonding electrons each, two sulfur-oxygen single bonds with two bonding electrons each, and the two excess electrons, for a total of 14.

How many moles of electrons are required to reduce one mole of nitrogen gas N2 to two moles of nitrogen ions N3-?

Three moles of electrons are required to reduce one mole of nitrogen gas N2 to two moles of nitrogen ions N3-. This is because each nitrogen molecule N2 gains 3 electrons to form two nitrogen ions N3-.

In many compounds atoms of main group elements form ions so that the number of electrons in the outermost energy levels of each ion is?

In many compounds, atoms of main group elements form ions so that the number of electrons in the outermost energy levels of each ion is 8 (or 2 for hydrogen and helium). This is known as the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of electrons, similar to the noble gases.
