Question

An ion with a -2 charge has? A) one missing protein B) two missing protons c) two missing electrons D) two extra electrons

Answer 1

The correct answer is d

Answer 2

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would not be gain because it would say +6 instead of -2. Having a -2 charge means it wants to loose 2 electrons so it can form a full shell of 8 electrons. It wants to be inert (stable).
