Question

If an element has a charge of 2+, how many more protons does it have than electrons?

Answer 1

If an element has a charge of 2+, It has 2 more proton than electrons

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If a body loses some electrons, it becomes positively charged.

Here element having charge + 2 unit, it means the two electrons are removed from the element.

As we know that the atom is electrically neutral, it means the number of protons is equal to the number of neutrons.

So, if two electrons are removed, it means the now, the number of protons are two more than the number of electrons.
