An atom with more electrons than protons is usually found in a chemical bond. They are called "anions", or negatively charged ions. (An ion is any atom that is either positively charged or negatively charged.) They are negatively charged because electrons are negatively charged.
Anions are usually to always found in chemical bonds because all (stable, at least) elements are neutral, or have no charge. Why are they ever found in chemical bonds, you ask? Well, think about the Noble Gases, the group all the way on the right of the Periodic Table. The Noble Gases are completely inert, or they almost never react with anything. That all has to do with the amount of electrons they have. Essentially, all elements want to be like the Noble Gases. They share or lend electrons to other elements. To be more specific, metals give electrons and nonmetals receive electrons in chemical bonding. So, nonmetals receive more electrons than normal and they become like the Noble Gases, and that gives them a negative charge.
Is the ion neutral, positive, negative, or polyatomic?
It would be a negativly charged ion.
An electron is a sub-atomic particle, not an atom. But it is electrically charged (it has a charge of minus one). The simplest atom, the hydrogen one isotope, has just one proton and one electron. An electron is a part of an atom. Every atom is composed of protons and electrons. Usually there are also neutrons. Protons are positively charged +1 and electrons are charged -1. Neutrons are neutral. When the number of protons and electrons are equal the atom is neutral. When an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons it is charged either - or +. More electrons make it - and more protons make it +. In both cases the atom is called an ion.
The proton contributes more even though there are equal numbers of both electrons and protons. The mass of a proton is one thousand times greater than the mass of an electron. Thus, the proton contributes more.
Proton: positive charged Electron: negative charged Neutron: neutral
(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
An atom is made up of three parts. The protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the center of the atom called the nucleus. The electrons float around the atom in what is called orbitals.
positive
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
NoYes. A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons.
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

An anion is an ion with more electrons than protons.
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
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
no a neutral atom does not have more protons than it does atoms. if it really were neutral it would have the equal amount of electrons and protons. if an atom had more protons than neutrons, it would be a positive atom and vice versa. so to answer this question. NO A NEUTRAL ATOM DOES NOT HAVE MORE PROTONS THAN NEUTRONS.
An ion is a electrically charged atom (negative ion) has more electrons that protons and positive ion has more protons that electrons)
When an atom has more protons than electrons it is called an ion. This is a positively charged particle because it has more protons than electrons, thus the positive charge takes over.
