The electrical charge is 3-.
Magnesium has 12 protons, so if there are only 10 electrons, then it will have a +2 charge.
The charge on a magnesium ion with 10 electrons (Mg2+) is +2.
A sodium ion with 11 protons and 10 electrons has a net charge of +1 because the number of protons (positive charge) is greater than the number of electrons (negative charge) by 1.
A fluorine ion with a charge of 1 indicates that it has gained an extra electron, making it a fluoride ion. So, a fluoride ion would have 10 electrons (9 from the protons and 1 extra electron).
The methane diazonium ion ((CH_4N_2^+)) has a total of 14 valence electrons. Methane contributes 4, and the diazonium ion contributes an additional 10 valence electrons (5 each from nitrogen and the nitrogen atom's positive charge).
A nitrogen ion can have different charges, but for example, a nitrogen ion with a +3 charge would have lost 3 electrons from the neutral nitrogen atom (which has 7 electrons). Therefore, the nitrogen ion with a +3 charge would have 4 electrons.
The N3 ion has 26 electrons. Each nitrogen atom contributes 7 valence electrons, and there are three nitrogen atoms in the N3 ion.
The Nitrogen 3- ion. Its atomic, or 'proton' number, is 7 and remember: in a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Therefore adding 3 electrons to Nitrogen's outer shell (which allows the atom to fulfil the octet rule of having 8 valence electrons) creates an ion where there are 10 electrons and only 7 protons. The ion has a 3- charge as the balance between positive protons and negative electrons has been disrupted.
A nitrogen ion -3 has 7 protons and 10 electrons. This is because nitrogen normally has 7 protons and 7 electrons, but the -3 charge indicates that it has gained 3 electrons to become negatively charged.
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
There are often 7 electrons in nitrogen except when the nitrogen is in its ion form; then it would have 10 electrons.
There are 10 electrons in the ion of nitrogen (the 3- charged nitrogen).
2 core electrons and 8 valence electrons are there in N3- ion.
A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.
An oxygen ion with a charge of -2 has gained 2 electrons. Oxygen normally has 8 electrons, so with the addition of 2 electrons, the oxygen ion with a charge of -2 will have 10 electrons.
12 + 10 = 22 charge
12 + 10 = 22 charge
