A
single oxygen has atomic number 8 that means the nuclei of all oxygen atoms
have eight protons. The number of minus-charged electron is two but the number
of electrons is 10. <span>To gain a minus two-charge ion, it
must have two more negative electrons than positive charged protons. With this,
the ion has 10 electrons, which give it a -2 net charge. </span>
Answer:
one potassium, one nitrogen and three oxygen
Explanation:
potassium is K, nitrogen is N and oxygen is O
Answer:
different from the number of their neutrons
Explanation:
They each have one single proton (Z = 1), but differ in the number of their neutrons. Hydrogen has no neutron, deuterium has one, and tritium has two neutrons. ... Their nuclear symbols are therefore 1H, 2H, and 3H. The atoms of these isotopes have one electron to balance the charge of the one proton.
Hihi!
During Rutherford's experiment<span> of shooting particles through a sheet of </span>gold foil <span>he had discovered that some were deflected! This had proved that an </span>atom<span> is actually a small dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons!
I hope I helped!
