for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons  = 8

Number of neutrons  = 9

Number of electrons  = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

 For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

     Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

      Charge  =  8  - 10  = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

 The ion is O²⁻

in this image, you can see solar radiation going through ocean water.

no image, but probably absorption

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
