If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
What is the atom with the most electrons than protons is called?
If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion. More specifically an anion (negatively charged)
When there are more protons than electrons what are they called?
Then such an atom is called a Cation
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
What of an atom is negatively charged?
The number of protons is less than the number of electrons in an atom.
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 called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
What is the center of an atom that contains both protons and electrons called?
The centre of an atom is called the nucleus, and it contains only protons and NEUTRONSbut no electrons at all.
What are the parts of an atom called?
Neutrons, protons and electrons are the parts of Atoms.
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
If an atom has 49 protons how many electrons does it have?
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
What is the atom with the most electrons than protons is called?
If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion. More specifically an anion (negatively charged)
What are positively charged in an atom called?
+= protons -= electrons
An atom that has fewer protons than electrons is called what?
Generally an atom has equal number of electrons and protons. and we know that electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged so atom is neutral. But when an atom loses electrons it acquires a positive charge. And this positive species is called cation.
What is an atom called when the number of protons is not equal to the number of electrons?
An ion. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom gains a positive charge and is called a cation. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom gains a negative charge and is called an anion.
