So the first thing in determining the number of protons and electrons in an ion is to, excuse me, to find the atomic number for the corresponding element.
00:14
So sodium is number 11, calcium is number 20, aluminum is number 13, iron is number 26, iodine is number 53.
00:32
Three, fluorine is number nine, sulfur is 16, oxygen is number eight, and nitrogen is number seven.
00:50
So you find the element on the periodic table, and your answer here is going to be based on the atomic number, because the number of protons corresponds to the element symbol.
01:04
So you're using the na to look it up on the periodic table, and the number of protons is 11.
01:13
And likewise, for ca, there are the atomic number is 20.
01:18
That's 20 protons.
01:20
13 in aluminum, 26 in iron, 53 in iodine.
01:29
9 in fluorine, 16 in sulfur, 8 in oxygen, and 7 in nitrogen.
01:40
And so the number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
01:45
Now, if i had 11 electrons, then this would be neutral, but it has a 1 plus charge.
01:51
That means that there's one more proton than there is electrons.
01:55
There are 10 electrons.
01:58
And so 10 plus, i'm sorry, 11 plus 10 minus gives us a plus 1 charge.
02:06
And in the case of calcium, it's 2 plus.
02:11
And so we've got 18 negatives and 20 positives.
02:24
The charge is equal to, that is, the 2 plus on calcium, for example, is equal to the number of protons minus the number of electrons.
02:34
20 minus 18 is 2 plus...
