Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge.
If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons)
If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.

What can be a negative for electrons or a positive for protons?
The charge of electrons is negative and of protons is positive.
What do protons and electrons have that neutrons do not?
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
When an atom has more protons than electrons what is its electrical charge?
No. An 'atom' can not have more electrons than protons because, by definition, an 'atom' is electrically neutral. If an 'atom' loses or gains an electron, it becomes an 'ion' and is electrically charged. An 'ion' with more electrons than protons will be NEGATIVELY charged because electrons carry negative charge.
Are electrons positively charged?
Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charge and neutrons have no charge.
what charge of an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
What is the charge of an ion that contains 16 protons?
i think it depends how many electrons it has. then you do something like subtract the electrons from the protons. electrons are negative, protons are positive.
What are the thee particles of the atom respective charges are?
They are neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutrons have zero charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.They are neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutrons have zero charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
Negatively charged particles in an atom?
An atom contains neutrons, protons and electrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge (no charge), protons have a positive (+) charge and electrons have a negative (-) charge. Hope this Helps!
What can be a negative for electrons or a positive for protons?
The charge of electrons is negative and of protons is positive.
What charges do proton an electrons have?
Pprotons have a positive charge neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. However the one with the smallest mass is electrons.
Does Neutral potassium atoms contain more protons than electrons?
No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.
Whats the difference between electrons and protons?
Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
What do protons and electrons have that neutrons do not?
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
When an atom has more protons than electrons what is its electrical charge?

What are protons neutrons and electrons hint charge?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge
What is the Definition of neutrons protons and electrons?
Neutrons: no electrical charge Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge
