Question

in which of the following is the symbol for the ion and the number of electrons it contains given correctly? *

Answer 1

Answer:Number of electrons that are present in an atom is determined by the electronic configuration of that atom.

If an ion is carrying a positive charge, it means that the atom has lost electrons and if an ion is carrying a negative charge, it means that the atom has gained electrons.

For the given options:

Option A: The atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom does not have any electrons.

Option B: The atomic number of bromine atom is 35 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom has 36 electrons.

Option C: The atomic number of aluminium atom is 13 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:
