When an ion has more electrons than protons in it, the whole ion (charged particle) is negatively charged.

The number of negative charges (electrons) exceeds the number of positive charges (protons).

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.


What is an ion called that has fewer electrons than protons?

An ion with more protons than electrons is called a cation.


What has more electrons than protons?

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.


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.


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.


If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?

If an atom has lost more protons than electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion. This is because it now has more positive charge (from the protons) than negative charge (from the electrons), leading to an overall positive charge.


write a simple word equation that shows you can figure out the charge of an ion given its numbers of electrons and protons?

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.


What charge would an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?

If an ion has more electrons than protons, it would have a negative charge. The charge of the ion would be equal to the excess of electrons over protons.


What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?

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.


What does a charge on a ion indicate about the number of protons and electrons?

The charge on an ion indicates the imbalance between the number of protons and electrons. If an ion has a positive charge, it has more protons than electrons. If it has a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons.


What charge does an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?

A net postive charge


When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?

An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
