If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative.
If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.
The numbers of protons and of electrons in the atom must be the same.
an atom has a no charge or has a net charge zero as it contains equal number of electrons and protons .for example a sodium atom Na has 11 protons and 11 electrons .mathematically +11_11 =0 hence no charge .
Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Therefore, if an atom is to be neutral it must have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Consequently, if an atom has 19 protons and is neutral it must have 19 electrons.
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
Equal numbers of protons and electrons.
The negative charge of the electrons equals the positive charge of the protons in a neutral atom. In other words, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal.
Atoms that are neutral must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Thus, for the charge to be neutral, the numbers of these particles must be equal.
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
It has equal numbers of protons and electrons.
Atoms have positive protons in the nucleus with an equal number of negative electrons around the outside the nucleus. No there is no charge on an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons.
No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.

Ion If an atom either give up or gains electrons, it becomes an ion. an atom that has a positive or negative charge due to unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
