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 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 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.


If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?

Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.


What is the atoms charge if there are more protons than electrons in the atom?

positive!(: more protons = positive more electrons = negative say an atom has 2 more protons than electrons, it has a charge of 2+ if it had 3 more electrons than protons, it has a charge of 3- if electrons are taken away, what will the charge be? answer: positive, because there are less electrons same works vice versa. hope i helped! source: 8th grade science class(:


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.


What charge does ion have if it has more protons then electrons?

It has a positive (+) charge.


What particles will have a negative charge?

An electron has a negative charge. Also an ion in which there are more electrons than protons has a negative charge. Such an ion is called as anion.


All atoms have a blank charge?

If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.


What do you get if the number of protons and electrons are not equal?

An ion, which would have a positive charge if there are more protons, and a negative charge id there are more electrons.


When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?

No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
