Question

If the number of electrons in an ion is 8 and the number of protons in it are 7, then the charge of that ion will be​

Answer 1

$\: \: \: \huge{\boxed{\tt{\large{More \: to \: know \: :-}}}}$

✒The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, the atomic number of the atom is 8.

✒ Since the number of both electrons and protons is equal, therefore, the charge on 0.

✒Atomic number is equal to number of protons i.e. 8. Since number of protons is equal to number of electrons

(i.e. 8, therefore charge on the atom is 0.)

✒✒The number of protons and electrons in an atom or molecule determines its charge and whether it is a neutral species or an ion. ... 

✒✒A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons.

✒✒This number is the atomicnumber of the element. A positively-charged ion or cation has more protons than electrons..
