Question

answer in detail an atom X has 12 protons and electrons loses two electrons to form an ion what will be the charge on the iron what will be the number of protons and electrons in the ion with full explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 protons n 12 electrons

loses 2 electrons

so charge =+2 as 2 protons are in excess .

No. of protons are same and

No. of electron =12-2=10

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrons are negatively charged, whereas, protons are positively charged.An atom is electrically neutral because it has equal number of protons and electrons.An atom can lose, gain or share its electrons. An ion is a charged particle formed from an atom by the loss or gain of electrons.

Since atom X loses 2 electrons, ion X will acquire positive charge i.e. +2.

Now the total no. of electrons will be 10 and number of protons remains same.
