The ion of an element has 3 positive charges. The mass number of the atom is 27 and the number of neutrons is 14. Then what is the number of electrons in the ion?
10
Mass number= No.of protons + No. of neutrons
27-14 = No. of protons
No. of protons = No. of electrons (For a neutral atom)
= 13 - 3 (3 positive charges)
= 10 electrons
