A fluorine ion has 9 protons and a charge of 1 How many electrons are in an ion of fluorine?
10
A sodium ion has 11 protons and 10 electrons what is its charge?
+1
What is the charge on a magnesium ion that has ten electrons?
The charge on a magnesium ion with 10 electrons (Mg2+) is +2.
What is the charge of magnesium when it forms an ion?
Magnesium as an atom has two valance electrons. To complete it's octet, it must lose two electrons. Losing two electrons will make Mg have 12 protons and 10 electrons therefore having a +2 charge.
What the chemical symbol for the ion with 12 protons and 10 electrons?
Magnesium, with a +2 charge.
What is the total number of electrons in a Mg2 positive ion?
The Magnesium atom will lose 2 of its electrons to become a Magnesium ion with 10 electrons. (Mg2+) How many electrons does a magnesium ion have? How many electrons does a fluoride ion have? How many electrons does a fluoride ion have?
What is the charge of a sodium ion with protons and 10 electrons?
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
What is the ion charge of a nitrogen ion with 10 electrons?
The electrical charge is 3-.
What is the total charge of electrons in a sodium ion?
A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.
How many electrons does the most common ion of magnesium Mg have?
The atomic number of magnesium is 12. The cation loses two electrons for 10.
What is the charge of ion that has 12 protons and 10 electrons?
12 + 10 = 22 charge
What is the charge of an ion that has 12 protons an 10 electrons?
12 + 10 = 22 charge
What is the identity of element Q if the ion Q2 contains 10 electrons?
Magnesium
Why does a magnesium ion have 2 charge?
Because it has 12 protons and 12 electrons, to gain a full outer shell via ionic bonding the ion looses 2 electrons (-ve) to gain a full outer shell (2,8). Therefore, the ion would have 12 protons (+ve) and only 10 electrons (-ve) making it have a +2 charge.
