Short Answer:
The human body (and most other objects) is (are) normally neutral and that means the number of protons is very nearly equal to the number of protons. There will be a few more electron or a few less at any given time based on interactions of the body (or object) with its enviroment, but unless there is a specific process that adds or subtracts a substantial number of electron, the body (the object) will be almost neutral. While it is true that the body is a complex system of electrolytes with positive and negative ions, they balance and the body is still nearly neutral.
Another Answer:
In all neutral atoms, the number of protons and electrons are equal. When atoms form compounds, they transfer electrons to and from one another, but the total amount of electrons remains the same. If you _did_ have many more protons or electrons, your body would become electrically charged (negatively for an excess of electrons, and positively for an excess of protons). This is indeed what happens when you run your feet through a rug and get a static charge, making your hair stand up and causing you to spark on a doorknob. But normally, the amount of protons and electrons are the same.

How is a atom different from an ion?
atoms have neutral or no charge. ions have a charge whether positive or negative and have either more protons than neutrons and vice versa.An atom has an equal amount of Electrons and Protons, but an ion is a particle with an uneven amount of Protons and Electrons. A Cation, having more Protons than Electrons and an Anion, having more Electrons than Protons.
What is the charge on a Carbonate ion and Compared to the number of protons how many electrons does carbonate have?
The charge on a carbonate ion is -2; therefore, the ion has two more electrons than protons.
Does a chloride ion have more protons than electrons?
Yes. The charge of a cation tells how many more protons than electrons it has. For example Fe3+ has three more protons than electrons. However these protons were not gained, since an element always has the same number of protons no matter what its charge is. So in order for an element to have more protons than electrons it has to lose the electrons.
What is a normal atom?
Its a normal atom if it have same protons, neutrons, and electrons to the one of the periodic table. If it have more or less neutrons than normal then its an isotope. If it have more protons than electrons then its a positive ion. If it have more electrons than protons then its a negative ion. An ion its a charged atom, more or less electrons than " normal " Isotopes its an atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
What is the charge on an ion with 65 protons and 61 electrons?
There are more protons than electrons, and since protons are positive, the ion will be positive. Because there are two more protons, the charge is +2.
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.
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
What has more electrons than protons?
A positive ion.
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
When an atom has more electrons that protons it is?
An anion is an ion with more electrons than protons.
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
The type of particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons is an ion. Ions are called cations when they have fewer electrons than protons and anions when they have more.
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.
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.
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 does having an unequal number or protons and electrons do to an atom?
It makes it an ion: If have more protons than electrons is positive. (cation) If more electrons than protons is negative. (anion)
Do anions have different number of protons than electrons?
In an ion, there are either more more protons or more electrons. That is what gives the charge. If the charge of an ion is positive, there are less electrons than protons. If the charge of an ion is negative, there are more electrons than protons.
