Identify the given information: the ion has 106 electrons, 162 neutrons, and a nuclear charge of +108. The nuclear charge corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus.
Determine the number of protons: since the nuclear charge is +108, the ion has 108 protons.
Recall that the mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons (Z) and neutrons (N): \(A = Z + N\).
Substitute the known values into the mass number formula: \(A = 108 + 162\).
Calculate the sum to find the mass number of the ion.
