Lithium Ion has how many electrons and protons?

When you say Ion you have to specify whether its negative or positive and the number associated with it. For example: if its Li 3- it means it has 3 more electrons then regular Lithium (which has 3 electrons) that makes it 6 electrons and 3 protons (this nr doesnt change) for Li 3-. Obviously calculations vary depending on the type of ion.


Which particles affect the charge of an atom or ion?

The particles that affect the charge of an atom or ion are electrons and protons. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. The number of electrons and protons in an atom or ion determines its overall charge.


What has more electrons than protons?

An ion with a negative charge has more electrons than protons. This means that the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons in the atom, giving it a net negative charge.


When an atom has different amounts of protons and electrons it is called an?

An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.


If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?

When the number of electrons and protons are not the same in an atom, it becomes an ion. An atom becomes positively charged if it loses electrons (more protons than electrons), and negatively charged if it gains electrons (more electrons than protons).

Aluminum ion has how many electrons?

An aluminum ion, Al3+, has 10 electrons. This is because aluminum normally has 13 protons and 13 electrons in a neutral atom, but in the +3 ion it loses 3 electrons, leaving it with 10 electrons.


How man protons and neutrons does aluminum ion Al 3?

13 protons and 14 neutrons. The fact that its an ion doesn't change that ... only the number of electrons.


What is the number of protons and electrons in aluminium?

In one atom of aluminum, there are 13 protons and 13 electrons. However, aluminum is a fairly reactive metal and is often found as an ion in nature. In this form, aluminum is a 3+ ion, having 13 protons but only 10 electrons.


What is the formula of the ion that has 13 protons and 10 electrons?

The ion with 13 protons and 10 electrons would have a 3+ charge since there are more protons than electrons. Its formula would be Al3+, representing an aluminum ion with a 3+ charge.


How many protons and electrons are there in a silver ion?

47 protons and 46 electrons.


How many protons and electrons in ion Br?

35 protons, 36 electrons


Could plus 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding three protons to an aluminum atom?

The difference between Al and Al+3 is that the ion has lost 3 electrons, therefore it has 3 more protons than electrons, hence granting it a charge of +3.


How many electrons will aluminum gain or lose when it forms an ion?

Aluminum will lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion.


How many protons are in an oxide ion?

An oxide ion has 8 protons. This is because it is an oxygen atom that has gained 2 electrons to become negatively charged. The number of protons remains the same as the number of protons in a neutral oxygen atom.


How many electrons and protons does an ion have?

There are many different types of ions, having many different quantities of electrons and protons. The H+ ion has one proton and no electrons. That's the simplest.


How many protons and electrons are in chlorine ions?

chlorine ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.


How many protons are in a ion with 86 electrons and a -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.
