Copper has 29 protons, when dealing with Cu^2+ all that means is it lost two electrons. so now the element has 29 protons and 27 electrons. Protons are positive and electrons are negative and neutrons are neutral. So say you had an element X^2- then you have gained two more electrons so the element has an overall negative charge. hope that helps
Answer:
The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,
XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻
X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element
As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,
No. of electrons = atomic number - charge
36 = atomic number - 2
Atomic number = 38
Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.
Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,
No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
= 89 - 38
= 51 neutrons.
Metals naturally form cations.
Answer:
n= | Shell | Maximum Number of Electrons
1 | 1st Shell | 2
2 | 2nd Shell | 8
3 | 3rd Shell | 18
4 | 4th Shell | 32
Explanation: cause :)
The correct answer is c because enzymes increase the rate of all biochemical processes
