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.

What is a charged particle because it had more or fewer electrons then protons?

Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.


A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?

When a particle loses electrons, it becomes positively charged due to having more protons than electrons. Conversely, if a particle gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged as it has more electrons than protons. This imbalance in charge leads to the formation of a charged particle.


Are the protons positively charged and the lightest subatomic particle?

Protons are positively charged but are not the lightest. They are about 2000 times the weight of electrons.


What happens if a particle has less protons than electrons?

The atom will become negatively charged (protons are positive and electrons are negative.)


What does it mean when an atom has more protons then 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.


If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?

When the number of electrons and protons are not the same in an atom, it becomes an ion. An atom becomes positively charged if it loses electrons (more protons than electrons), and negatively charged if it gains electrons (more electrons than protons).


What subatomic particle is electrically charged?

In the atom: protons are positive and electrons are negative.


What is the charge for 3 subatomic particle?

Protons are positively charged Neutrons have no charge Electrons are negatively charged.


Why do atoms normally have no charge?

Beacause atoms contain 3 types of sub atomic particle- protons,neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are in the neuclius and the electrons are around the outside. The protons are positivly charged. The neutrons neutral and the electrons negativly charged. So, the protons and electrons charges cacell each other out. So the atom has no charge overall.


What charged atoms particle is called?

Electrons are negatively charged (around the nucleus) and protons are positively charged (inside the nucleus)


Why does a beta particle have a negative charge?

A beta particle is an electron or a positron emitted during radioactive decay. Electrons are negatively charged because they have an excess of electrons compared to protons. Positrons are positively charged because they have a deficiency of electrons compared to protons.


What is the subatomic particle with no charge?

neutron. protons are positively charged, electrons negative
