Indicates the number of protons and electrons for this Sulfide ion?

A sulfide ion has 16 protons and 18 electrons. The additional electron gives the ion a negative charge, making the number of electrons greater than the number of protons.

What is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in a negative ion?

a negative ion means that an electron(s) has been gained. therefore, there will be a higher number of electrons than protons, as the number of protons will not change


How many protons are there in the ions?

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.


How many protons are in an ion with 10 electrons and a -1 charge?

There are 11 protons in an ion with 10 electrons and a -1 charge. The charge of an ion is defined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, since the ion has a -1 charge, it means there is one more electron than the number of protons.


How many protons are in an ion with 86 electrons and a negative 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 does not change when an ion forms?

The number of protons and neutrons does not change when an ion forms.


How do you find the number of electron domains in an atom or ion?

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.


How are an Ion and electron different?

an electron is a subatomic particle which every atom has. an ion is a charged particle (Ca2+ or Na+) It has one or more electrons than the number of protons...


What happens to the atomic number of sodium when it loses one electron?

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, sodium's atomic number is always 11, even if it loses 1 electron. However, when a sodium atom loses 1 electron, it will form an ion with a 1+ charge.


How many protons and electrons is in ion?

An ion is defined as an element with a charge. Because elements vary with how many protons they have (along with neutrons to form isotopes) it is impossible to put a set number on how many protons and electrons all ions have. An element (or compound) becomes an ion when the substance gains (to become a positive ion) or loses (to become a negative ion) an electron(s).


Does a choride ion have more protons than eleectrons?

the chloride ION is negatively charged (Cl-) And since electron is negative, and protons are positive, it needs more electrons for the ion to be negatively charged.That's how you get the answer! ;)
