How many protons and electrons are in a Cu 2+ ion?
64
29
A 27 protons, 29 electrons
27 protons, 31 electrons
B
29 protons, 27 electrons
D
29 protons, 31 electrons

B  29 protons, 27 electrons

Explanation:

The given specie is copper ion:

         Cu²⁺  

We are to find the number of protons and electrons it contains.

 The number of protons is the positively charged particles in the atom.

 Electrons are the negatively charged particles in the atom.

The number of protons is the same as the atomic number

Atomic number of copper  = 29

 Number of protons  = 29

 Now;

    Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

     2  = 29  - number of electrons

     -27  = - number of electrons

 Number of electrons  = 27

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
