What charge would an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?
it would have a net negative charge.
What if their are 8 protons in an atom how many electrons are their?
If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 charge.
How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
It has a positive (+) charge.
What do you get if the number of protons and electrons are not equal?
An ion, which would have a positive charge if there are more protons, and a negative charge id there are more electrons.
What charge would an ion have if it had more electrons then protons?
The charge would be negative, since electrons are negatively charged.
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.
Why must a neutral atom have the same number or protons and electrons?
The electrons posses negative (-) charge and the protons positive (+). - and + equals 0 and 0 means neutral.So, if the electrons are more than the protons the charge would be negative because the electrons are negatively charged.If the protons are more than the charge would be positive because the protons are positively charged.
What is the charge on a hypothetical ion with 45 protons and 42 electrons?
It has 3 more protons than electrons. Protons are 1+ and electrons are 1-. So the charge on the hypothetical ion would be 3+
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 would an ion have it had more electrons than protons?
it would have a net negative charge.
What charge would an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?
it would have a net negative charge.
what charge of an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
Why do most atoms have the same number of protons and electrons?
So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something
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.
