Does a chloride ion have equal protons and electrons?
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
How can you determine the number relate to the protons and electrons of an element?
Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. Each atom has the same number of electrons as protons.
Where are protons and neutrins located?
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
What charge does protons and electrons have?
protons are positively (+) charged and electronsare negatively (-e) charged
How many electrons are in 36 protons?
Protons do not contain electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons negatively charged.
Do protons have the same charge as electrons?
yes. protons are positively charged. electrons are negatively charged

Why electrons are not present in protons?
maybe because they are 2 DIFFERENT particles present in an atom... electrons are -ve while protons are +ve ly charged

What determines an element's charge?
The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.
What charge does protons and electrons have?
protons are positively (+) charged and electronsare negatively (-e) charged
Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
Does a negative ion have more protons or electrons?
Protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if an atom is positively charged, it could have any amount of protons or neutrons, one does not need to be more than the other. However we can say it will definitely have more protons than electrons.
Which Atoms have the same number of protons as what other?
The neutron. Unless it is an isotope, which has a different number of neutrons.
What are atoms called that hsve the same number of protons but different numbers of electrons?
Ions. They are charged molecules or charged atoms.
