radioactive
Yes, heavier nuclei tend to have more neutrons than protons. This is because the strong nuclear force, which holds the nucleus together, helps balance the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons. Having more neutrons helps stabilize the nucleus by increasing this attractive force.
Heavy elements contain more protons, which repel each other due to their positive charge. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus by adding nuclear binding energy without adding additional electrostatic repulsion like protons do. Therefore, heavy nuclei tend to have more neutrons to help balance out the increased number of protons.
In any neutral object the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. All metallic elements contain more than one proton in the nucleus. Therefore there will be more electrons than atomic nuclei.
Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.

Heavy atoms have more protons and neutrons in their nuclei compared to light atoms. This increases the nuclear charge and mass of heavy atoms, making them less stable and more prone to undergo radioactive decay.
Heavy nuclei need to have a balanced ratio of protons to neutrons to remain stable. They also need to have the strong nuclear force between nucleons overcome the electrostatic repulsion between protons. Additionally, the nuclei need to have a sufficient binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

Nitrogen atoms have 7 protons in their nuclei. You can know this because the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, and the atomic number is the number of protons. So the element that has one less proton than nitrogen in the nuclei of its atoms is carbon, which is atomic number 6, so it has 6 protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
anions have more electrons than protons
If you subtract one proton, you get platinum. If you add one proton, you get mercury. Platinum is considerably more valuable than mercury. If you add or subtract more than one, all bets are off. If you add enough, you get a transuranic element, which are much more valuable than gold.
I'm not sure there's a word for it. Ones with fewer neutrons might be "neutron-deficient" (or "neutron poor"), though a) that's probably politically incorrect and b) I think it refers to nuclei that have less than the optimal number of neutrons, even if it isn't actually less than the number of protons.

nuclei is plural for nucleus, meaning more than one nucleus
A smaller nucleus is generally more stable. Below are some general rules: # (Except for really small nuclei) All stable nuclei contain a number of neutrons that is equal to or greater than the number of protons. # Nuclei with too few or too many neutrons is unstable. # If a nuclei has even numbers of nucleons, it's generally more stable. # Nuclei with "magic numbers" usually tend to be more stable.
