These substances are called ions.
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.
It makes it an ion: If have more protons than electrons is positive. (cation) If more electrons than protons is negative. (anion)
That is called an ion.
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
- An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.- Hydrogen form the cation H+.

Ions.
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.
Ions are charged particles therefore ions must always have an unequal number of Protons and Electrons. Since the amount of protons, in general, can't change, then the amount of charge is controlled by how much electrons are present. E.g., If there is 7 protons and 7 electrons, the charge is 0 as the protons cancelled out the electrons. However if it gained 3 electrons, it would be 7 protons and 10 electrons and therefore have a charge of -3 (Because electrons are negatively charged)
an ion
It will repel other positively charged entities and attract all negatively charged entities.
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. An ion has an unequal number electrons and protons giving it either a positive or negative charge.
An Ion
Atoms with unequal numbers of protons and electrons are called ions. In general, an ion is a charged particle, and if we have any atom that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, it has a charge imbalance, and will have an overall net charge. This charge will be positive if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons, or it will be negative if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons. In either case, that atom will end up with an overall net charge (either positive or negative) and will be considered an ion. Lastly, an anion is an atom with a negative electrical charge (a negative ion), and a cation is an atom with a positive electrical charge (a positive ion).ions.
It makes it an ion: If have more protons than electrons is positive. (cation) If more electrons than protons is negative. (anion)
