<u>Answer:</u> The number of protons and electrons in the given ion are 8, 10 respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

For the given representation of ion, which is:  O^{2-}

We are given:

Atomic number = Number of protons = 8

Charge on the ion = -2

Number of electrons = Number of protons - charge = 8 - (-2) = 10

Hence, the number of protons and electrons in the given ion are 8, 10 respectively.

What is the meant by atomic radius
krek1111 [17]

Atomic radius defines the size of an atom.  

Explanation:

Atomic radius is defined as “one-half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms that are bonded together.” If ‘r’ is the atomic radius and ‘d’ the distance in between nuclei of two atoms that are identical and bonded, then r = d/2.

The units used to express atomic radius are picometer, nanometer, and Angstroms.

In the periodic table, the atomic radius of elements decreases with elements across a <em>period</em> (left-right) and increases with elements down a group.
