What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
What has more electrons than protons?
A positive ion.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What is an atom that has more electrons than normal referred to as?
An atom with extra (a higher number than that of its protons) electrons is an anion. An atom with a lower count than its protons is a cation. They are often reffered to as positive (cation) or negative (anion) Ions. An Ion is defined as a charged particle.
When is a substance is negatively charged?
When it's ions have more elecrons than protons
These elements form ions because they have more than?
protons than electrons
What is a charged particle because it had more or fewer electrons then protons?
Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.
What charge is any atom?
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
The type of particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons is an ion. Ions are called cations when they have fewer electrons than protons and anions when they have more.
Nonmetal ions larger than their elemental counterparts?
Non metallic ions are negatively charged. They have more electrons than protons. So they are larger than elemental counterparts that have equal number of protons and electrons.
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton false or true?
False, all atoms have the same no of electrons and protons. Negative ions have more electrons. Positive ions have fewer electrons.
What are charged atoms due to a loss or gain of electrons?
all charged particles are ions. cations are positive meaning they have more protons than electrons. anions are negative meaning they have more electrons than protons
What are changed atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons?
Charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons are called ions.. A perfect example of this is H+, which is a hydrogen with one less electron than normal. In other words, H+ is a single proton, with no electrons.
How are positive charged ions formed?
actually +vely charged ions are formed due to the addition of more no.of electrons than protons in an atom
How is a atom different from an ion?
atoms have neutral or no charge. ions have a charge whether positive or negative and have either more protons than neutrons and vice versa.An atom has an equal amount of Electrons and Protons, but an ion is a particle with an uneven amount of Protons and Electrons. A Cation, having more Protons than Electrons and an Anion, having more Electrons than Protons.
Does Anions have more protons than electrons?
anions have more electrons than protons
Atoms whose number of electrons does not equal it's number of protons are what?
In every element the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it. But in the ions there is loss or gain of electrons. But the ions and the atoms are not same . Ions are formed from atoms. In the case of radio active disintegration the number of protons changes . Even after the radio active decay they exist in ionic form. So far as the question is concerned we cannot say that an atom exists in which the number of protons is different from that of electrons.
