Negative ... which is what electrons are,
(whereas protons are positive).
What else can I help you with?
What does an atom have more electrons or protons?
Normally it has an equal amount of both, but it can lose and gain electrons. This gives it an electrical charge. If there are more protons than electrons the charge is positive and if there are more electrons the charge is negative.Added:But charged particles are called IONS, not atoms.
If an atom has 15 protons 17 neutrons and 11 electrons what is the atom's electrical charge?
The atom's electrical charge is +4. It has 15 protons and 11 electrons, so the overall charge is positive (15 - 11 = 4) because there are more protons than electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so having fewer electrons than protons results in a net positive charge.
What is the electrical charge formed on the species?
The electrical charge on a species is determined by the balance of protons and electrons. If a species has more protons than electrons, it carries a positive charge (cation), while more electrons than protons result in a negative charge (anion). The overall charge can also be influenced by the gain or loss of electrons during chemical reactions or interactions. Thus, the charge reflects the species' electron configuration relative to its neutral state.
Do protons and electrons have the same amount of electrical charge and have the same mass?
Each proton has a positive charge. Each electron has a negative charge. The 'size' of the charge on every proton and every electron is the same. Every proton has the mass of about 1,850 electrons.
How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
When an atom has more protons than electrons what is its electrical charge?
No. An 'atom' can not have more electrons than protons because, by definition, an 'atom' is electrically neutral. If an 'atom' loses or gains an electron, it becomes an 'ion' and is electrically charged. An 'ion' with more electrons than protons will be NEGATIVELY charged because electrons carry negative charge.
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
If an atom has 18 protons 15 neutrons and 22 electrons what is the atoms electrical charge?
If an atom has 15 protons 12 neutrons and 16 electrons, the neutrons have absolutely nothing to do with the electrical charge. Having one more electron than protons would determine the electrical charge of the atom. The atom would have a charge of -1. The extra electron would give it a negative charge.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
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.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?
A net postive charge
What does a charge on a ion indicate about the number of protons and electrons?
The charge on an ion indicates the imbalance between the number of protons and electrons. If an ion has a positive charge, it has more protons than electrons. If it has a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons.
