Question

what are the no. of electrons ,protons,neutrons in

Answer 1

I think in sulphate there are 5 electrons,6 neutrons,7 protons.

Answer 2

Answer:

To calculate the number of neutrons for the sulfate ion, SO4, one has to consider individual isotopes of oxygen and sulfur. O-16 is the most common isotope of oxygen. It’s atomic number is 8 (number of protons); so, there are 8 neutrons (16–8). S-32 is the most common isotope of sulfur. It’s atomic number is 16 (number of protons); so, there are 16 neutrons (32–16). The total neutrons for sulfate ion is 16+8+8+8+8 or 48 neutrons. If other isotopes of oxygen or sulfur are considered, the number of neutrons will be different.

Explanation:

Attention please :-

Sulfate is SO4 2-, Sulfur has 16 neutrons, Oxygen has 8 neutrons

1(16) + 4(8) = 48

Sulfate ion, thus, has 48 neutrons.

the ion must contain 2 more electrons, than it does nucular charges.
