Question

List the protons, neutrons, and electrons for Ge2+ Please hurry

Answer 1

Answer:

32, 30 and 41

Explanation:

The problem here is to find the number of:

    Protons, neutrons and electrons in Ge²⁺

In this ion,

   We must understand that for a net positive charge to remain on an atom, the number of protons must be greater than the number of electrons.

Ge is Germanium with atomic number of 32;

So the number of protons is 32

Since the atom has lost two electrons;

  Number of electrons now is 32  - 2 = 30

Number of neutrons is 41 from the periodic table.
