i need to determine how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in these but they arent just straight elements
tehy are singly ionized hydrogen (positive)
doubly ionized hydrogen(positive)
and singly ionized oxygen (negative)
these are my answers, respectively
1. one proton
2. two protons and two neutrons
3.eight protons and eight neutrons, nine electrons
please tell me if i did it correctly and how to do it....even if i did it correctly!!! thank you so much
singly ionized hydrogen (positive)- correct one proton
doubly ionized hydrogen(positive)- two protons and two neutrons would be helium not hydrogen, did you mean to write hydrogen? because you cant doubly ionize hydrogen positively
singly ionized oxygen (negative)-eight protons and eight neutrons, nine electrons correct
I agree with venessa assuming the oxygen isotope is 816O-1 and not some other variety.
You did a great job with your answers! Let's go through each ion to confirm if your answers are correct.
Singly ionized hydrogen (positive):
To determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a singly ionized hydrogen ion, we need to understand that ionization means the atom has gained or lost electrons. Since it is singly ionized hydrogen, it means one electron has been removed from a neutral hydrogen atom (H).
Protons: A neutral hydrogen atom (H) has one proton. In a singly ionized hydrogen ion, it still retains the same number of protons, which is one.
Neutrons: A neutral hydrogen atom (H) usually has no neutrons. So, even in a singly ionized hydrogen ion, the number of neutrons remains zero.
Electrons: By removing one electron from a neutral hydrogen atom, we are left with zero electrons in the singly ionized hydrogen ion.
Therefore, your answer of one proton and zero neutrons and electrons is correct for a singly ionized hydrogen ion.
Doubly ionized hydrogen (positive):
For a doubly ionized hydrogen ion, it means two electrons have been removed from a neutral hydrogen atom (H).
Protons: A neutral hydrogen atom (H) has one proton. In a doubly ionized hydrogen ion, it still retains the same number of protons, which is one.
Neutrons: A neutral hydrogen atom (H) usually has no neutrons. So, even in a doubly ionized hydrogen ion, the number of neutrons remains zero.
Electrons: By removing two electrons from a neutral hydrogen atom, we are left with zero electrons in the doubly ionized hydrogen ion.
Therefore, your answer of two protons and zero neutrons and electrons is correct for a doubly ionized hydrogen ion.
Singly ionized oxygen (negative):
To determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a singly ionized oxygen ion (O-), we need to understand that a negative ion has gained an extra electron compared to the neutral atom.
Protons: A neutral oxygen atom (O) has eight protons. In a singly ionized oxygen ion, it still retains the same number of protons, which is eight.
Neutrons: A neutral oxygen atom (O) usually has eight neutrons. So, even in a singly ionized oxygen ion, the number of neutrons remains the same, which is eight.
Electrons: By gaining one extra electron in the singly ionized oxygen ion, the total number of electrons becomes nine.
Therefore, your answer of eight protons, eight neutrons, and nine electrons is correct for a singly ionized oxygen ion.
