An oxygen atom has eight protons and a hydrogen atom has one proton, How many electrons are in a hydroxide ion?
A. 8
B.9
C.10
D. none

The answer is C.

Explanation:

When hydrogen react with oxygen to form hydroxide ion, the electron in each element will add up together.

So 8-electrons of oxygen react with 1-electron of hygrogen to form 10-electrons of hydroxide.

In an element, atomic number(proton number) is equal to numbet of electrons.

sorry to break it to ya but no one can answer your question it's just

jk but i am serious about the part that most people cant answer it beacuse you did not mention the section you are talking about. but it would if you added some detail and were a bit more specific.
