anions have more electrons than 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?
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.
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
The atomic number of thorium is 90. So there are 90 protons and 90 electrons. In Th-230 isotope there are 140 neutrons (230 - 90 = 140) So there are 50 more neutrons than the number of protons.
No that is wrong. that compound has more protons than electrons.
Atom that are anions have two more electrons than it has in protons.
Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.
An ion with a negative charge has more electrons than protons. This means that the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons in the atom, giving it a net negative charge.
No, anions have more electrons than protons. An anion is a negatively charged ion that gains an extra electron, resulting in a greater number of negative charges compared to positive charges (protons). Neutrons do not have charge and are not directly related to the charge of anions.
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
Anions have more electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions, which means they have gained one or more electrons compared to the number of protons present in their nucleus. This electron gain gives them a net negative charge.
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
Monatomic anions are formed when atoms gain one or more electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus remains the same, giving the atom a net negative charge due to having more electrons than protons.
Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.
In a balanced atom, yes. There are exceptions, however. Anions are atoms with more electrons than protons (negative charge). Cations are atoms with more protons than electrons (positive charge). Cations and Anions bond readily through ionic bonds. EXAMPLE: Na+ Cl- (Sodium Chloride)
all charged particles are ions. cations are positive meaning they have more protons than electrons. anions are negative meaning they have more electrons than protons
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.
