Best Answer

There are less electrons than protons in a positive ion. More information is needed to determine the exact number.

Here is an example:

How many electrons are in a carbon ion with a positive charge of positive 2e? There are 6 protons in carbon (since it is element number 6). Since it has a charge of +2, there will be 2 less electrons than protons, so the number of electrons would be 4.

Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles, not positive charged. Positive charged subatomic particles are protons.

Neon atom has 10 positively charged protons and 10 negatively charged electrons.

Sodium has 11 electrons.


How many electrons are in the Na ion?

When sodium becomes an ion, it loses one electron to fulfill the octet rule. A neutral sodium ion has 11 electrons, so an ion will have 10.


What is the total charge of electrons in a sodium ion?

A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.

A unipositive or uninegative monoatomic ion.


How many electrons does an atom of sodium lose when it forms a bond how many electrons does an atom of sulfur gain when it forms a bond?

Sodium loses one electron to form a Na+ ion. Sulfur gains two electrons to form a sulfide ion, S2-.


How many electrons in a sodium ion?

None. The electrons are not in the nucleus for any atoms. They swirl around the nucleus in space but do not enter the nucleus. If electrons are squeezed into nuclei of atoms through gravity in supermassive star collapses, they fuse with protons and become neutrons. Sodium has 11 protons and usually 12 neutrons in their nuclei but no electrons.


What is the charge of a sodium ion with protons and 10 electrons?

The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.


What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion?

Both fluoride ion and sodium ion are isoelectronic with neon. That means all have 10 electrons.
