QUESTION:
Give the number of protons and electrons in each of the following common ions: \(\mathrm{Na}^+,\mathrm{\ Ca}^{2+},\mathrm{\ Al}^{3+},\mathrm{\ Fe}^{2+},\ \mathrm{I}^-,\mathrm{\ F}^-,\mathrm{\ S}^{2-},\mathrm{\ O}^{2-}\) and \(\mathrm{N}^{3-}\).
ANSWER:Step 1 of 11
Here, we are going to calculate the number of protons and electrons of the ions.
An ion is defined as an atom or a group of atoms which has a net positive or negative charge.
When a neutral atoms loss of one or more electrons, it forms positive charged ion which is known as cation.
When a neutral atoms gain of one or more electrons, it forms negative charged ion which is known as anion.
