How do you determine the number of electrons of an element or its ion?
I am wondering, how do you determine the number of electrons of an element or its ion?
The number of electrons in an element can be determined by looking at its atomic number on the periodic table of elements. The number of electrons in an ion can be determined by calculating its charge and subtracting or adding it from the number of electrons in the neutral element.
