The number of protons is not changed.
Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.
Yes, an atom that is not neutral (that is, it is either positive or negative) is referred to as an ion. Ions containing MORE protons than electrons are considered "positive". Ions containing LESS protons than electrons are considered "negative".
protons than electrons
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.
Compound made of ions, which are atoms of an element with more or less electrons than number of protons, giving them a positive or negative charge.
Ions are changed atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons. This imbalance gives the ion a net electric charge, either positive (if there are more protons) or negative (if there are more electrons).
Ions always have an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net electric charge. This charge can be positive if there are more protons than electrons, or negative if there are more electrons than protons. The number of neutrons in an ion can vary.
Non metallic ions are negatively charged. They have more electrons than protons. So they are larger than elemental counterparts that have equal number of protons and electrons.
Yes, hydrogen ions are more acidic than hydroxide ions. Hydrogen ions contribute to acidity by releasing protons in solution, while hydroxide ions are actually the base component that reacts with hydrogen ions to neutralize them.
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
actually +vely charged ions are formed due to the addition of more no.of electrons than protons in an atom
If it is in water (supposedly meant by questioneer), the pH value is below 7.0, so it is an acid solution: more H+ than OH-
