<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.
