What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?

An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.


What element has more valence electrons that oxygen fewer valence electrons that neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?

there is no such element


What element has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than soduim but fewer protons than argon?

Cl Chlorine


This element has more valence electrons that oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodiumbut fewer protons than argon?

The element described is chlorine. It has 7 valence electrons, which is more than oxygen but fewer than neon. Chlorine has 17 protons, more than sodium but fewer than argon.


Is a ion is a charged particle because it now had either more or fewer electrons than protons?

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.


An atom that has fewer protons than electrons is called what?

Generally an atom has equal number of electrons and protons. and we know that electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged so atom is neutral. But when an atom loses electrons it acquires a positive charge. And this positive species is called cation.


What element has more valence electrons than silicon-fewer valence electrons than sulfur more protons than rubidium but fewer protons than tellurium?

This would be Sb - Antimony.


An atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons is called?

More electrons = negatively charged = anion Less electrons = positively charged = cation


What element has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?

The element described would be phosphorus. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons (more than oxygen) and 15 protons (more than sodium but fewer than argon).


An atom with a positive charge is called a?

It is a Cation, an ion with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge


What element has more valence electrons than oxygenfewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?

Neon has 0 valence electrons so it is not possible to have an element with fewer valence electrons. There can, therefore, be no such element.


Element that has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?

The element in question is magnesium. It has 12 protons (more than sodium and less than argon), 2 more valence electrons than oxygen (which has 6), and 8 fewer valence electrons than neon (which has a full valence shell with 8 electrons).
