| 7 | h⁺ | ||||
| 8 | 8 | gained two | |||
| 9 | 12 | lost two | |||
| 10 | aluminum | 10 | |||
| 11 | 34 | 36 | |||
| 12 | h⁻ | ||||

To solve the ion practice set, we use the following rules:
- The number of protons = atomic number (identifies the element).
- For a neutral atom, protons = electrons. For an ion, electrons = protons ± (electrons lost/gained).
- A positive charge means electrons are lost (protons > electrons). A negative charge means electrons are gained (electrons > protons).
1. Element with 53 protons
- Atomic number 53 = Iodine (I).
- Electrons = 54 (protons = 53, so gained 1: \( 54 - 53 = 1 \)).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{I}^- \) (gained 1 electron, negative charge).
2. Element with 16 protons
- Atomic number 16 = Sulfur (S).
- Gained 2 electrons: Electrons = \( 16 + 2 = 18 \).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{S}^{2-} \).
3. Potassium (K, atomic number 19)
- Lost 1 electron: Electrons = \( 19 - 1 = 18 \).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{K}^+ \).
4. \( \text{Ca}^{+2} \) (Calcium, atomic number 20)
- Protons = 20.
- Lost 2 electrons: Electrons = \( 20 - 2 = 18 \).
5. Element with 35 protons
- Atomic number 35 = Bromine (Br).
- Electrons = 36 (gained 1: \( 36 - 35 = 1 \)).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{Br}^- \).
6. \( \text{Sr}^{+2} \) (Strontium, atomic number 38)
- Protons = 38.
- Lost 2 electrons: Electrons = \( 38 - 2 = 36 \).
7. \( \text{H}^+ \) (Hydrogen, atomic number 1)
- Protons = 1.
- Lost 1 electron: Electrons = \( 1 - 1 = 0 \).
8. Element with 8 protons
- Atomic number 8 = Oxygen (O).
- Gained 2 electrons: Electrons = \( 8 + 2 = 10 \).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{O}^{2-} \).
9. Element with 12 protons
- Atomic number 12 = Magnesium (Mg).
- Lost 2 electrons: Electrons = \( 12 - 2 = 10 \).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{Mg}^{2+} \).
10. Aluminum (Al, atomic number 13)
- Protons = 13.
- Electrons = 10 (lost \( 13 - 10 = 3 \) electrons).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{Al}^{3+} \).
11. Element with 34 protons
- Atomic number 34 = Selenium (Se).
- Gained 2 electrons: Electrons = \( 34 + 2 = 36 \).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{Se}^{2-} \).
12. \( \text{H}^- \) (Hydrogen)
- Protons = 1.
- Gained 1 electron: Electrons = \( 1 + 1 = 2 \).
13. Lithium (Li, atomic number 3)
- Lost 1 electron: Electrons = \( 3 - 1 = 2 \).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{Li}^+ \).
14. \( \text{Rb}^+ \) (Rubidium, atomic number 37)
- Protons = 37.
- Lost 1 electron: Electrons = \( 37 - 1 = 36 \).
15. Element with 17 protons
- Atomic number 17 = Chlorine (Cl).
- Electrons = 18 (gained 1: \( 18 - 17 = 1 \)).
- Ion symbol: \( \text{Cl}^- \).

s to Short Questions:
- What is an ion?
An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
- What does the number next to the ion’s symbol signify?
The number (charge) indicates the net electrical charge of the ion (e.g., \( \text{Ca}^{2+} \) means a calcium ion with a +2 charge, lost 2 electrons).
