Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?

The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.
If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.

What are atoms electrically neutral?
if an atom is electrically neutral it has twice as many nuetrons as it does protons and electrons.
What kinds of electrical charges do protons electrons and nuetrons have?
Protons have the greatest charge wich is positive.Electrons have the worst charge wich is negative.Nuetrons have a positive and a negative charge wich is called neutral. these are the respictive charges of an atom
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
Which part of an atom carries a negative charge?
The electrons of an atom carry a negative charge. the electron cloud which is around the nucleus containing the electrons For more information, see Related links below.
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 are the three constituents of an atom and also state the nature of charge on each?
Protons- positive Nuetrons-nuetral electons-negative
Does an element have an electrical charge?
no it has a nutral charge because in the middle of protons and electrons there is nuetrons. nuetrons have a nutral charge and so does the atom.
What are atoms electrically neutral?
if an atom is electrically neutral it has twice as many nuetrons as it does protons and electrons.
What is bt nuetrons?
Neutrons are in the center of an atom and have a negative charge.
Why is the helium atom's nucleus postively charged?
Anything that is positively charged means that it has an extra number of protons. 1. PROTONS = Positive 2. NUETRONS = Neutral 3. ELECTRONS = Negative The Helium atom could have 6 protons, 5 nuetrons, and 5 electrons. The extra proton would make the atom Positive. Anything that is positively charged means that it has an extra number of protons. 1. PROTONS = Positive 2. NUETRONS = Neutral 3. ELECTRONS = Negative The Helium atom could have 6 protons, 5 nuetrons, and 5 electrons. The extra proton would make the atom Positive.

How many nuetrons and protons in a nucleus?
protons and nuetrons are equal to no. of electrons present in atom
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.
How many protons and nuetrons are in magnesium's atom?
there are 12 protons in an atom of magnesium:-)
Why is the the overall charge of the atom neutral?
Because in a neutral atom, there are an equal number of positive protons and negative electrons. The equal number causes the charges to cancel out, making the net charge 0.An atom is made of positive protons and neutral neutrons in the nucleus, and negative electrons surrounding the nucleus. An normal atom has the same number of protons and neutrons, so the protons and nuetrons cancel each other out, resulting in an overall charge of zero.
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
What is an atom with a positive charge or negative charge called?
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
