When an ion has more electrons than protons in it, the whole ion (charged particle) is negatively charged.
The number of negative charges (electrons) exceeds the number of positive charges (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.
Is an anion an ion with more electrons than protons giving it a negative charge?
Yes, an anion is an ion with more electrons than protons giving it a negative charge.
Is an anion is an ion with more electrons than protons giving it a negative charge?
Yes, an anion is an ion that has more electrons than protons, which gives it a negative charge.
write a simple word equation that shows you can figure out the charge of an ion given its numbers of electrons and protons?
If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative. If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
In an ion compound evey ion is attracted to what other ions?
A positively charged ion (cation) is attracted to a negatively charged ion (anion). Cations have more protons than electrons, whereas anions have more electrons than protons. Electrons are negatively charged, and protons are positively charged.
what charge of an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
What has more electrons than protons?
A positive ion.
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.
When an atom has more electrons that protons it is?
An anion is an ion with more electrons than 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.
Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
Is an anion an ion with more electrons than protons giving it a negative charge?
Yes, an anion is an ion with more electrons than protons giving it a negative charge.
Is an anion is an ion with more electrons than protons giving it a negative charge?
Yes, an anion is an ion that has more electrons than protons, which gives it a negative charge.
write a simple word equation that shows you can figure out the charge of an ion given its numbers of electrons and protons?
If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative. If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
What does having an unequal number or protons and electrons do to an atom?
It makes it an ion: If have more protons than electrons is positive. (cation) If more electrons than protons is negative. (anion)
Do anions have different number of protons than electrons?
In an ion, there are either more more protons or more electrons. That is what gives the charge. If the charge of an ion is positive, there are less electrons than protons. If the charge of an ion is negative, there are more electrons than protons.
