Question

An ion has 28 protons, 24 electrons, and 30 neutrons. What is its ionic charge?

Answer 1

Ionic charge = +4

To answer this we look only at the protons and electrons. Because there are 4 more protons than electrons we know that this ion has 4 less electrons than it would need to have to have a neutral charge. Therefore, the ionic charge is +4

Answer 2

Ionic charge is +4!!!!!!
