yes
anions have more electrons than protons
No they're smaller than protons and electrons
Electrons are 1,836 times lighter than protons. A proton is 99.8% the mass of a neutron
no. protons and neutrons are MUCH larger than electrons.
protons/neutrons are made of quarks which are smaller than electrons. electrons are smaller than protons and neutrons.
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.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
The charge on an ion indicates the imbalance between the number of protons and electrons. If an ion has a positive charge, it has more protons than electrons. If it has a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons.
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.

An ION NB When an atom has a balanced(equal) number of protons and electrons it is named an ATOM If an atom has an imbalance(unequal) number of protons and electrons it is named an ION (NOT an atom). e.g. Sodium (Na)_ An atom of sodium has 11 protons (+) and 11 electrons(-). When this atom is ionized it loses ONE electron. So the count is now 11 protons(+) and 10 electrons(-). It is now an ION (NOT an atom) and is symbolically represented by ' Na^(+)'. The positive(+) because 11 protons (11+) and electrons(-) because 10 electrons (10-) Adding we have 11+ 10- = 1+ Hence the plus (+) as the ionic charge, represented by ' Na^(+) '. Conversely Chlorine(Cl) An atom of chlorine has 17 protons (+) and 17 electrons(-). When this atom undergoes electron affinity it gains ONE electron. So the count is now 17 protons(+) and 18 electrons(-). It is now an ION (NOT an atom) and is symbolically represented by ' Cl^(-)'. The positive(+) because 17 protons (17+) and electrons(-) because 18 electrons (18-) Adding we have 17+ 18- = 1- Hence the negative (-) as the ionic charge, represented by ' Cl^(-) '.
An ion with more protons than electrons is called a cation.
Negative ... which is what electrons are, (whereas protons are positive).
