No, they have more electrons than protons, hence their negative charge.

Does Anions have more protons than electrons?

anions have more electrons than protons


What is true of all atoms that are anions A more electrons than protons B more protons than electrons C fewer protons than neutral atom of same element D more neutrons than protons E net charge is 1-?

Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.


What is true about all anions?

Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.


Do all atoms that are anions have more electrons than protons?

Atom that are anions have two more electrons than it has in protons.


An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?

An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.


What is the term for the situation when an atom has more neutrons than protons?

The term for the situation when an atom has more neutrons than protons is called neutron excess or neutron-rich.


Are protons bigger than neutrons?

Yes, neutrons are larger than protons.


What ions have more electrons than protons?

Anions have more electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions, which means they have gained one or more electrons compared to the number of protons present in their nucleus. This electron gain gives them a net negative charge.

An atom with an imbalance of electrons and protons is called?

I'm not sure there's a word for it. Ones with fewer neutrons might be "neutron-deficient" (or "neutron poor"), though a) that's probably politically incorrect and b) I think it refers to nuclei that have less than the optimal number of neutrons, even if it isn't actually less than the number of protons.


What are atoms with mor neutrons than protons?

Atoms with more protons than neutrons are simply isotopes of an element. Atoms of an element always have the same number of protons. However, the number of neutrons can vary and can be higher, lower, or equal to the number of protons.


What has more electrons than protons?

An ion with a negative charge has more electrons than protons. This means that the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons in the atom, giving it a net negative charge.
