If the ion contains only one atom, it is an atom of scandium, for which the most common oxidation state in compounds is +3. However, in gas phase, +2 and +1 are also possible.
The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). In this case, the ion would have a charge of +1 since it has 1 more proton than electrons.
The amount of protons something has is equal to its atomic number. Sodium has 11 protons.
The element that has 17 protons is Chlorine, or Cl. The particular isotope of Cl that has 21 neutrons is called 38Cl, and is radioactive, having a half-life of 37.24 minutes. In this particular case, the number of electrons of this isotope are greater than its number of protons by one. That means that this isotope is also an ion, and is labeled as 38Cl-.
Calcium typically has 20 protons, but with an added 2 charge, it now has 18 protons due to the loss of 2 positive charges. Calcium-41 has 41 - 18 = 23 neutrons. With a 2+ charge, it will attract 2 electrons, making it have 18 - 2 = 16 electrons.
Potassium-40 (K-40) has 19 protons and 21 neutrons.
The charge of the ion is 2+.This would be represented as Fe2+.
The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). In this case, the ion would have a charge of +1 since it has 1 more proton than electrons.
This ion will have a charge of -1. The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. A neutral atom will have a number of electrons equal to the atomic number, which is the number of protons in that nucleus. Since you have an extra electron your atom has a negative charge of one electron's worth, or minus one, which is 1.6 x 10-19 coulombs.

Because its atomic number is 21, it has 21 protons, 21 neutrons, and 21 electrons.
ONLY the K+ ion (not element) has 19 protons and 18 electrons.The isotopic ion with 21 neutrons must be K+-40 , the most rare potassium-ion (0.01%) out of three possibles, the other isotopes are: K+-39 (93%) and 7% is K+-41Explanation:39, 40 and 41 are the mass numbers of the 3 naturally occurring potassium isotopes.Keep in mind that:1. an element is always neutrally charged, so the number of protons (positives, + ) equals the number of electrons (negatives, - )2. the number of neutrons depends on the 'mass number' of the one particular isotope of that element and that the number of protons + neutrons is the mass number
A Calcium ion with a -1 net charge would have 21 electrons. Calcium as a stable element has 20 electrons.
scandium has 21 protons!

Isotopes can exsist in ionic form if that element can be ionic.Example:Chlorine (Cl) in ionic form is chloride: Cl- (this is a chemical property of that element). This is valid for BOTH isotopes Cl-35 and Cl-37: they all have the same chemical properties of that element Chlorine.Neon (Ne) can NOT form ions, thus neither Ne-20 nor -21 and -22 can form ions.
