electrons. Ions exist when an atom gains or loses electrons
The symbol An doesn't exist.

Electrons are never found in the nucleus of an atom, along with the protons. They exist in shells that surround the nucleus.
Yes. When an atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it is neutral. The number of protons in an atom can never change without the element changing as well (and that is nuclear chemistry). The number of electrons can change, and when an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. But an atom is always neutral due to the fact that the number of protons in an atom is equivalent to the number of electrons in that atom.

Electrons are found in orbitals outside the nucleus of an atom.
No it can't. There has to an equal amount of electrons as protons! This atom can't exist.

No, only protons and neutrons exist in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are what produce a negative charge.

A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
Valence electrons. They exist in the atom's valence shell.
The atom becomes a negative ion.
An atom acquires a charge by losing or gaining electrons.
Bohr stated that electrons do not emit radiation unless they change energy states. Bohr stated that the energy of electrons exist in discrete states.
