What do atoms with same number of protons but different electrical charges called?

Answer 1

Ions are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons, but have either lost or gained one or more electrons, causing them to have different electrical charges. If they have lost electrons, they are negative ions, and if they have gained electrons they are positive ions. A "+" is used to denote an ion. For example:

• Barium - Ba+2 (has gained 2 electrons)
• Copper (I) - Cu+1 (has gained 1 electron)
• Copper (II) - Cu+2 (has gained 2 electrons)
• Nitrate - NO3-1 (has lost 1 electron)
• Nitride - N-3 (has lost 3 electrons)
• Nitrite - NO2-1 (has lost 1 electron)

Answer 2

Ions.

Depending on whether the atom has an excess of electrons or a deficiency of them (negative or positive charge) the atom is called an "anion" (negative charge) or "cation" (positive).

These names come from the names for electrodes; anode and cathode. Which is to say that they are named after a precedent set by people working in the field of electricity and physics for the direction that certain charges move inside an electrical system.

Answer 3

Ions, which are positively charged when less electrons, and negatively when more electrons than protons.

Answer 4

elements with the same number of protons but different number of electrons are called ions.

Answer 5

different number of neutrons are isotopes

Answer 6

Charged Ions
