Without knowing which nuclide is in question, it remains safe to say that regardless of the element, in an ion the atomic number or count of protons differs from the number of electrons - and thus the atom is overall not electrically neutral - the definition of an ion. With fewer electrons than protons, it would be a positively charged ion (cation); with more electrons than protons, it would be a negative ion (anion).

If the atomic number (proton number) is P, the charge is x and the mass number is M, then

protons = P

neutrons = M- P

and electrons is the algebraic sum of P and x.

What two particles are in the nucleus?

(The constituent particles of an atom are the electron, the proton and the neutron; all three are fermions. However, the hydrogen-1 atom has no neutrons and the hydron ion has no electrons.) WIkipedia


What are the correct parts of an atom?

There are three parts to an atom. The nucleus consists of a proton or a combination protons and neutrons. The number of protons is the atomic number, and determines the element. For example, hydrogen has one proton. Helium has two protons and two neutrons. Varying numbers of neutrons represent different isotopes of that element. Deuterium is hydrogen with an additional neutron. The number of protons is generally matched by the number of electrons. If there is an imbalance, an ion (charged element or molecule) is the result. Electrons have a tiny fraction of the mass of either protons or neutrons.


What is an atom with 3 neutrons 3 protons 3 electrons and a nucleus called?

This may seem confusing but this question is impossible to answer. The nucleus of the atom is made of positively charges protons and neutrons with no charge held together by what is known as the strong force. Electrons are negatively charged and circle the nucleus at nearly the speed of light. There is no atom with three protons and three neutrons.


What is a charge in an atom?

An atom can either have a positive or negative charge, and a charged atom is called an ion. If an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes a positive ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion.

How many protons electrons neutrons does sulfur have?

16 protons, and if it isn't an ion ("isn't an ion" means that it has no electric charge), it has 16 electrons. on average, sulfur has 16.065 neutrons, but that's averaged out, so it's a weird number. let's just say most sulfur has 16 neutrons.
