Question

Total number of electrons found in NH₄⁺ and OH⁻ are​

Answer 1

Answer:

They both have 10 electrons .

Explanation:

Let us count ...

• Atomic no. of Nitrogen is 7 i.e., it has 7 electrons. And Atm. no. of Hydrogen is 1 i.e., it has 1 electron = total 4 electrons and (+) sign means subtraction of 1 electron.

so total electrons are 7+4-1=10

• Now, OH- , Atm. no. of 'O' =, 8 i.e., no. of electrons =8 , and same with 'H' . (-) sign for addition of 1 electron.
• so total no. of electrons are 8+1+1=10
