If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion.

More specifically an anion (negatively charged)

What is the center of an atom that contains both protons and electrons called?

The centre of an atom is called the nucleus, and it contains only protons and NEUTRONSbut no electrons at all.


Make up of an atom?

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.


Does most atoms have more protons than electrons?

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.


What atom is electrically neutral?

because the electrons and protons are equal.


What is there in the center of an atom?

In the center of an atom is the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral; together they make up most of the atom's mass. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in distinct energy levels.


Most types of matter are made up of small particles called what?

Neutrons, electrons & protons (altogether called 'atom').


Most atoms have equal numbers of?

an atom has a no charge or has a net charge zero as it contains equal number of electrons and protons .for example a sodium atom Na has 11 protons and 11 electrons .mathematically +11_11 =0 hence no charge .


Why do most atoms have the same number of protons and electrons?

So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something


Which term describes the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom?

when you could check in most of atoms that we have you will see that the sum of protons and electrons equals to or is called the atomic weight or atomic mass...that is if you add protons to electrons you have your atomic mass.


Which subatomic particle is found in the orbital of an atom?

The centre of an atom contains protons and neutrons, while the surrounding sub-atomic particles are called electrons.


What is the orbital to protons?

The orbital refers to the region around the nucleus where electrons are most likely to be found. Protons are located in the nucleus of an atom. Orbits are not associated with protons, they are specific to electrons.


An atom of nitrogen has seven protons in its nucleus. How many electrons does it have?

Assuming that the atom has no charge, the atom will have seven electrons. If the atom is positive, you subtract the charge from the atomic number to find the number of electrons. If the atom is negative, you add the charge to the atomic number to find the number of electrons.
