How many electrons, protons and neutrons are present in ammonium ion ?
 

This is an easy question!
                                                                                                         +
AMMONIUM   ION'S  FORMULA IS  :                                  NH4
hence;
the number of electrons : (no of electrons in 1 nitrogen)  +  4(no of electrons in 1 hydrogen) -  [1 lost electron ]= 7+4-1=10
the number of protons :  (no of protons in 1 nitrogen) + 4(no o f electrons in 1 hydrogen) =7+4=11
the number of neutrons:([mass no.-atomic no.] of nitrogen)+ 4([mass no.-atomic no.] of hydrogen) =[14-7]+4[1-1]=7+0=7

Dear friend ,

        the above answer is correct..the ammonium ion has 10 electrons, 11 protons and 7 neutrons not 11 neutrons because hydrogen do not have neutrons and nitrogen has 7 so..totally NH4+ have 7 neutrons.

So I hope this answer is helpful for you..^_^
