NO!!!
8 protons , means 8 positive charges ( 8+).
10 electrons , means 10 negative charges ( 10-).
Summing
8+ 10 - = 2-
So the ion will have a charge of '2-'
From the information given this is the oxygen ion ( O^(2-)).
What else can I help you with?
Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
Would the Lewis structure for a cation contain more electrons or fewer electrons?
It would have fewer electrons. A cation is a positively charged ion which means that there are fewer negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons.
What are some properties of an ion?
being positively or negatively charged as a result of having more protons than electrons or more electrons than protons
What An ion has unequal numbers of which two particles?
An ion has unequal numbers of protons and electrons. This imbalance results in a net electrical charge: if there are more protons than electrons, the ion is positively charged (cation), while if there are more electrons than protons, it is negatively charged (anion). Neutrons remain unchanged in this process.
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
A positively charged what has more protons than electrons?
That would be a positively charged ion. (cation)
Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
Does a positively charged ion have more protons than electrons?
Yes,they've excess protons where it is similar to the charge of the ion.
How many protons are in an ion with 86 electrons and a 1 charge?
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.
Does a negative ion have more protons or electrons?
Protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if an atom is positively charged, it could have any amount of protons or neutrons, one does not need to be more than the other. However we can say it will definitely have more protons than electrons.
What type of ion is when an atom loses electrons?
A positive ion. Originally atoms have a neutral charge with equal amount of electrons and protons. If atom loses electrons, it still has the same amount of protons so it becomes a positive ion
How many protons are in a ion with 86 electrons and a -1 charge?
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.
What has a positively or negatively charged particle of an atom?
In an atom, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. If the number of protons and electrons are equal, those atoms are said to be neutral. If they are not equal, it has formed an ion with the net charge.
An atom that has more protons than electrons?
"Positively charged ions" or cation is the name given to an atom that has lost electrons, i.e. has more protons than electrons.Read more: Atom_with_more_electrons_than_protons
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
When the number of electrons and protons are not the same in an atom, it becomes an ion. An atom becomes positively charged if it loses electrons (more protons than electrons), and negatively charged if it gains electrons (more electrons than protons).
Would the Lewis structure for a cation contain more electrons or fewer electrons?
It would have fewer electrons. A cation is a positively charged ion which means that there are fewer negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons.
What element has 7 protons 8 neutrons 7 electrons?
A positively charged ion of oxygen
