Question

Write the ion symbol for an atom with the given number of protons and electrons.

a. 35 protons and 36 electrons

Answer 1

The ion symbol for an atom with 35 protons and 36 electrons is Cl^-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ion symbol for an atom with 35 protons and 36 electrons can be determined by looking at the charge of the ion. Since electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge, the number of electrons and protons determine the overall charge of the atom. In this case, there is one more electron than proton, so the ion has a charge of -1. The symbol for this ion can be represented as Cl-1.

Answer 2

Ion with 35 protons (p+⁺) and 36 electrons (e⁻) is bromine ion Br⁻
The atomic number of Br is 35 which means it has 35 protons and 35 electrons (it needs to be neutral). After receives 1e⁻ it becomes negatively charged and has 36 e⁻.
