No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
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.
16 protons and 18 electrons
Chlorine has: 17 Protons 17 Electrons (in a neutral atom i.e. not an ion) (Isotope Mass Number - 17) is the number of Neutrons.
The atom chlorine usually has 17 protons and 17 electrons. However, the ion Cl-1 indicates that it has gained one electron, so it now has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
Cl-
Look at the periodic table. You see that the element that has 16 protons is Sulfur. Electrons have a single negative charge, while protons have a single positive charge, so an ion with 2 more electrons than protons will have a charge of 2-. So, the symbol of the ion would be S2- .
Ti2- would be the symbol for an ion with 22 protons and 24 electrons. This would be EXTREMELY unlikely to exist though. Ti2+ is more usual with 22 protons and 20 electrons. Ti4+ is even more stable with 22 protons and 18 electrons.
S for sulfur because the number of protons tells you the atomic number with is 16 and 16 is sulfur. The electrons means it is an ion with two more electrons than protons. The neutrons have no charge but add mass to the element.
20 protons indicate that the particle has an atomic number of 20 and is thus, calcium Ca. Since it has two more protons than it has electrons it must have a charge of 2+. So, the symbol will be Ca2+.
A sulfide ion has 16 protons and 18 electrons. The -2 charge indicates that the ion has gained two electrons, giving it two more electrons than protons.
In a sulfur ion with a charge of 2-, there are 18 electrons (16 from the neutral sulfur atom and two additional electrons to account for the negative charge). The number of protons remains the same as in a neutral sulfur atom, which is 16.
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
The sulfide ion (S²⁻) has 16 protons and 18 electrons. This is because the element sulfur (S) normally has 16 protons and 16 electrons, but by gaining two extra electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, it becomes the sulfide ion with 18 electrons.
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.
Chlorine has 17 protons and an atom of Chlorine would have 17 electrons. However a Chloride Ion will have one more electron ie 18 electrons and will be negatively charged.
chlorine ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
