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 Is The Name For a Version Of An Atom That Has The Normal Number Of Protons But A Different number of electrons?
A version of an atom that has the normal number of protons but a different number of electrons is called an ion. If it has more electrons than protons, it is a negatively charged ion or anion. Conversely, if it has fewer electrons than protons, it is a positively charged ion or cation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
An ION NB When an atom has a balanced(equal) number of protons and electrons it is named an ATOM If an atom has an imbalance(unequal) number of protons and electrons it is named an ION (NOT an atom). e.g. Sodium (Na)_ An atom of sodium has 11 protons (+) and 11 electrons(-). When this atom is ionized it loses ONE electron. So the count is now 11 protons(+) and 10 electrons(-). It is now an ION (NOT an atom) and is symbolically represented by ' Na^(+)'. The positive(+) because 11 protons (11+) and electrons(-) because 10 electrons (10-) Adding we have 11+ 10- = 1+ Hence the plus (+) as the ionic charge, represented by ' Na^(+) '. Conversely Chlorine(Cl) An atom of chlorine has 17 protons (+) and 17 electrons(-). When this atom undergoes electron affinity it gains ONE electron. So the count is now 17 protons(+) and 18 electrons(-). It is now an ION (NOT an atom) and is symbolically represented by ' Cl^(-)'. The positive(+) because 17 protons (17+) and electrons(-) because 18 electrons (18-) Adding we have 17+ 18- = 1- Hence the negative (-) as the ionic charge, represented by ' Cl^(-) '.
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 is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
