It would by definition be Helium (atom number = number of protons = 2) but the nucleus of the stable isotope 4He also contains 2 neutrons (the mass number = total number of p's and n's = 4)

What do you call a germanium atom if you remove two protons?

Germanium has thirty two protons. If two were removed, the atom would have thirty protons, making it Zinc.


If there are two electrons in an atom how many protons would be in the atom?

The atom in a normal state would have two protons to match the two electrons, making the overall charge zero. If the atom is an ion, it would have an mismatched number of protons and electrons, giving it a positive or negative overall charge.


What is an atom with two neutrons protons and electrons?

If you build an atom using two protons, two neutrons and two electrons you would build an atom of Helium. To be more-precise, this would create Helium-4 the common isotope of Helium.

What is the charged particle of a atom?

There are two particles within an atom that have a charge. They particles are electrons and protons, where electrons are negatively charged and protons are positive. However, if the atom is an ion, then the entire atom would either be positively or negatively charged.
