The atomic number of hafnium is 72. So there is 72 protons.
If a neutral atom gains electrons it is called what?
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
Lead will always have 82 protons. If it has a 2+ charge, that means there are 2 more protons than electrons, so there are 80 electrons.
In Li plus 1, the element is lithium (Li) which has 3 protons. Since it has a +1 charge, it means it has lost one electron, so it has 2 electrons.
The element is vanadium (V) because it has 23 protons. With 18 electrons and a net charge of 3 plus, it would have lost 3 electrons, resulting in a net charge of +3. The number of neutrons (28) does not affect the charge or identity of the element.

Chlorine with 17 protons and a -1 charge has 18 electrons. This is because the number of electrons should equal the number of protons (in this case, 17) plus or minus the charge (in this case, -1).
Lead will always have 82 protons. If it has a 2+ charge, that means there are 2 more protons than electrons, so there are 80 electrons.

hey perhaps your question is incomplete. but if your question is what is protons and neutron relationship then a neutron plus a positive charge having mass equal to electron mass then proton forms.
If you mean the charge of an alpha particle, it's +2 since they're made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, protons having plus 1 charge, neutrons having 0.
An atom of Carbon with a mass of 15 and a +2 charge must have 13 protons. This is because the atomic number of Carbon is 6, so a neutral Carbon atom would have 6 protons. Since the atom has a +2 charge, it has lost two electrons, making it a cation, and giving it 2 more protons than electrons.
Mn has 25 protons.
The number of protons is 2.
All lithium atoms and ions have three protons. The lithium ion has a charge of +1, meaning there is one less electron than protons, two.
