    Explanation:

    An ion has a net charge of 3+

    ion has 8 protons

    How many electrons does it have

    A neutral atom has equal number of electrons and protons.

    If a neutral atom loses electron it acquires a positive charge.

    So to acquire 3 + charge the atom must have lost three electrons.

    So the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons by 3.
