    Tyler,
    Im up to 1:24 in your video. I understand how you have added up the protons ( H=1x4 + N=7 = 11) however i thought that the number of protons mimics electrons so why is there only 10 electrons and not 11?
    Thanks Lee

    • @tdewitt451
      @tdewitt451  9 лет назад +101

      The reason is because it is an ion, it has a charge, so protons and electrons don't equal each other. I made this video to address your question: ruclips.net/video/GyJBstOn4t4/видео.html

    no. the protons and electrons are often different, which is what gives atoms a charge. watch my video called "What's an Ion?" for more information about this.

From my experience, when the discussion is from you, I can briefly understand it not like when my chem teacher is the one teaching it. He's so serious and everything. And he also is always absent so what happens is that he can't briefly go through a topic.

    at 2:34 why doesn’t carbonate have 30 electrons? because if oxygen ions are O and then the little 2 negative. so an oxygen ion would have 10 electrons? so 10 times 3 is 30. then for carbon, doesn’t the carbon ion have a charge of plus 4? so it would be 6+4. so it would be 40 electrons?

    • @sucharitapadhi1921

      Since Ammonium is an ion so its charge is 1+ meaning that it has 11 protons and 10 electrons.

    • @woundextra
      @woundextra 3 месяца назад

      In the ammonium ion, nitrogen has 7 electrons, and 4 hydrogens add 4 more, making 11 electrons total. Since it has a +1 charge, it loses 1 electron, leaving 10 electrons.

  • @OohRod
    @OohRod 12 лет назад

    so for any poly ion you do have to count to the # of protons & you do have to already know the charge, matter of fact, try to memorize the net charge for polyatomic ions. once you know the charge and the number of protons for that ion, the number of electrons will go up if it has a neg charge or go down if it has a pos charge (depending on the # next to the +/-, in other words you'll add/subt to the # of protons)

    quiiiiick question: H has 1 proton and 1 electron, Nitrogen has 7 protons and 7 electrons. so how does the NH4 add up to 11 protons and 10 electrons? I thought it had more to do with valency shells (H being +1 and N being -3)
