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.

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
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
It has a positive (+) charge.
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(:
How you know if an object has more electrons or protons?
If you put an electric charge of known magnitude near the object, then it will either be attracted to the charge or repelled away from the charge. They will have the same charge if repulsion is observed or different charges if attraction is observed.
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.
What kind of charge does an object have if it has more protons than electrons?
The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
What is an object that is positively charge?
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
The nucleus of an atom has both electrons and neutrons. An atom that has a positive charge means that the atom has fewer electrons than it has protons.
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
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 would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
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.
How many electrons does an atom with a negative charge have?
It will have more electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge that is equivalent to the positive charge carried by protons. Thus, if an object is negatively charged, it will have more electrons than protons. By the same reasoning, if an object is positively charged, it will have more protons than electrons. As you may have guessed, a neutral object will have the same amount of electrons and protons, causing all the charges to cancel out. Therefore, if a compound has a negative sign added to the end of it, such as NO3-, that means the compound has one more electron than it would if it were neutral.
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.
When do you say that an object is negatively charge?
when the object contains more electrons than protons it becomes negatively charged or and Ion.
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.
