Question

if no. of protons in X^-2 is 16 then no. of electrons in X ^+2 is​

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of protons = Atomic number

In neutral atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons

So in neutral atom electrons are 16

This is because no. of protons never change

In

${x}^{ + 2}$

Two electron are removed

Hence no. of electrons will be 16-2=14

Answer 2

Answer:

No. of protons = Atomic number

In neutral atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons

So in neutral atom electrons are 16

This is because no. of protons never change

In

{x}^{ + 2}x

+2

Two electron are removed

Hence no. of electrons will be 16-2=14
