The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
This describes an ionic compound with an 8:3 ratio of electrons to cations. The cation has a charge of +3, meaning it has lost 3 electrons. The total number of electrons in the compound is 80.
A cation is a positively charged ion, meaning it has lost electrons. In the case of a 1+ charge on a carbon cation, it would have 5 electrons (neutral Carbon has 6 electrons).
Two atoms and/or ions that have the same numbers of electrons are called "isoelectronic". Thus, a lithium cation is isoelectronic with a helium atom, because each has a total of two electrons.
No, you should subtract the ion charge from the total number of valence electrons of the neutral atom to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion. This is because a positive ion has lost electrons compared to the neutral atom.
A bromine atom, regardless of its mass number, has an atomic number of 35, which means it has 35 protons and, in a neutral state, also 35 electrons. Therefore, a bromine atom with a mass number of 87 will have 35 electrons. The mass number indicates the total number of protons and neutrons, but it does not affect the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

It would be a group 6 element posessing 8 electrons in the outermost shell but the total number would depend on which element it was.
The number of electrons will be 118.
No, you should subtract the ion charge from the total number of valence electrons of the neutral atom to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion. This is because a positive ion has lost electrons compared to the neutral atom.
The sulfate ion has a total of 32 electrons. This is calculated by adding the number of electrons in a sulfur atom (16) and the number of electrons contributed by the four oxygen atoms (4 × 6 = 24) in the ion.
The most common magnesium ion is Mg2+. It loses 2 electrons. By losing 2 electrons, Mg then has no electrons in the 3s energy level, drastically reducing the energy of the atom.
It is nothing but the total no of protons and electrons .So it is found by summing the total no protons and electrons present in an atom It is not electrons but the total of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of any atom.
there are 8 electrons in an oxygen atom, equal to the number of protons. there are 6 valence electrons though, give or take because they constantly switch
Hg2+ has 118 electrons. Each mercury (Hg) atom contributes 80 electrons, so two atoms in Hg2+ contribute a total of 160 electrons. Since it is a +2 cation, it has lost 2 electrons, resulting in a total of 118 electrons.
Iron carbonate (FeCO3) contai the cation Fe2+ and the anion (CO3)2-.
