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 are the parts of an atom called?
Neutrons, protons and electrons are the parts of Atoms.
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 am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
The type of particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons is an ion. Ions are called cations when they have fewer electrons than protons and anions when they have more.
What are electrons that do not move freely called?
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 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 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 are two sets of electrons called?
its called protons and neutrons
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)
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
If the number of protons and electrons are not equal, the atom becomes a charged particle called an ion.
