What else can I help you with?
What type of protons are electrons?
Protons are not electrons. Protons (and neutrons) are in the family of subatomic particles called "baryons", while electrons are in the family called "leptons".
What is an ion called that has fewer electrons than protons?
An ion with more protons than electrons is called a cation.
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.

When there are more protons than electrons what are they called?
When there are more protons than electrons in an atom, it is called an ion. Specifically, it is a cation when it has a positive charge due to the excess protons.
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
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 are the number of protons and electrons found in an element called?
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
What are two sets of electrons called?
its called protons and neutrons
What are the parts of an atom called?
Neutrons, protons and electrons are the parts of Atoms.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
What charge is any atom?
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
An ion is a particle that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
