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.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons that electrons?
A net postive charge
Do anions have more protons than neutrons?
No, they have more electrons than protons, hence their negative charge.
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.
When an atom has more protons than electrons what is its electrical charge?
No. An 'atom' can not have more electrons than protons because, by definition, an 'atom' is electrically neutral. If an 'atom' loses or gains an electron, it becomes an 'ion' and is electrically charged. An 'ion' with more electrons than protons will be NEGATIVELY charged because electrons carry negative charge.
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.
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 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 is Electrical charge with more electrons than protons?
Negative ... which is what electrons are, (whereas protons are positive).
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(:
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.
Is an anion is an ion with more electrons than protons giving it a negative charge?
Yes, an anion is an ion that has more electrons than protons, which gives it a negative charge.
What is the charge on an ion with 65 protons and 69 electrons?
Remember.. I f there are more electrons than protons in an ion the charge will be negative. Here there is a -4 charge because the electrons are higher than the protons, if it were the opposite the charge would be +4.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons that electrons?
A net postive charge
Do anions have more protons than neutrons?
No, they have more electrons than protons, hence their negative charge.
What effect does the charge of the atom have on the number of protons?
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
