If an ion has 13 protons and 10 electrons what is the charge on the ion?

Al3+ indicates an ion of aluminum having a charge of + 3. I.e., since an aluminum atom normally has 13 protons and 13 electrons, this ion has 10 electrons (-10 charge) and 13 protons (+ 13 charge) giving it a charge of + 3 (-10 + 13 = +3).

Explanation:

describe matter a earth

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
