Select the correct answer.
An ion has a net charge of 3+. If this ion has 8 protons, how many electrons does it have?
ОА. 3
ОВ. 5
Ос. 7
OD. 8
OE. 11

Yo sup??

number of protons=number of electrons =8

but this is the condition when the molecule is neutral

since it has a +3 charge now therefore no of electron is

=8-3

=5

The correct answer is option B

Hope this helps

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-

idk what the question is about
