This isn't very clear. Can you elaborate on what you're looking for? Is this a question directly from a textbook? |

In quantum mechanics, a "hydrogen-like" ion is an ion that has a single electron bound to a nucleus. How many electrons does a neutral carbon atom have? How many would you need to take away until only one is left? |
