The number of protons determine which element an atom is and normally the number of electrons is equal to it. Strip an electron off an iron atom and you have an ionised iron atom.
This is based upon the number of protons in the atom's [or ion's] nucleus: it's atomic number. Protons possess one positive charge, normally balanced or offset by the negative charge possessed by an electron.
An Ion is:either positive ion that is a neutral atom with an electron or more stripped off from its electron orbits, ora negative ion that is a neutral atom acquiring an electron or more to its electron orbits.Accordingly, the number of protons in the nucleus is not affected by the ionization process. The number of protons in any ion of an element is the same number corresponding to the atom structure of the atom of that element.

The central atom in NH2Cl is nitrogen. Nitrogen has 2 nonbonding electron pairs.
the number of electrons in the 3rd energy level of an atom.
The electron configuration of an atom with the atomic number 10 (neon) is 1s2 2s2 2p6.
The number of protons determine which element an atom is and normally the number of electrons is equal to it. Strip an electron off an iron atom and you have an ionised iron atom.
It is a neutral atom
Yes, provided the atom is electrically neutral.
Number of Proton(or Electron) in the Atom
When an atom becomes an ion, it gains or loses electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, resulting in a change in electron configuration. For example, a neutral sodium atom (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1) loses one electron to become a sodium ion (1s2 2s2 2p6). The electron configuration of the ion reflects this change in the number of electrons.
This is based upon the number of protons in the atom's [or ion's] nucleus: it's atomic number. Protons possess one positive charge, normally balanced or offset by the negative charge possessed by an electron.
76 electrons
they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
The electron configuration of an atom with the atomic number of 11 (which corresponds to the element sodium) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1.
An Ion is:either positive ion that is a neutral atom with an electron or more stripped off from its electron orbits, ora negative ion that is a neutral atom acquiring an electron or more to its electron orbits.Accordingly, the number of protons in the nucleus is not affected by the ionization process. The number of protons in any ion of an element is the same number corresponding to the atom structure of the atom of that element.
