I'm not sure there's a word for it. Ones with fewer neutrons might be "neutron-deficient" (or "neutron poor"), though a) that's probably politically incorrect and b) I think it refers to nuclei that have less than the optimal number of neutrons, even if it isn't actually less than the number of protons.

What is the center of an atom that contains both protons and electrons called?
The centre of an atom is called the nucleus, and it contains only protons and NEUTRONSbut no electrons at all.
What are the parts of an atom called?
Neutrons, protons and electrons are the parts of Atoms.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
What is the state of an atom with the same number of protons and electrons?
neutrally charged ones All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, that's why they're electrically neutral. The negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are the same magnitude.If there is a difference in the number of protons and neutrons, we call the atom an Ion, and state the charge.When there are more electrons than protons, we call this an Anion (a negatively charged Ion) and when there are fewer electrons than protons, this is called a Cation (a positively charged Ion).
If an atom has 49 protons how many electrons does it have?
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
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.

What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
Is it true that an atom that contain an imbalance of protons and electrons is called an ion?
No, usually the ions are usually either positively or negatively charged as a result of losing an electron.
What is the center of an atom that contains both protons and electrons called?
The centre of an atom is called the nucleus, and it contains only protons and NEUTRONSbut no electrons at all.
What are the parts of an atom called?
Neutrons, protons and electrons are the parts of Atoms.
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.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.

In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
What is the atom with the most electrons than protons is called?
If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion. More specifically an anion (negatively charged)
