No element or ion as stated can exist, because if it contains 23 protons and only 18 electrons, its net charge must be 23 - 18 = 5 plus, not 3 plus.
An atom is made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element's identity.
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have approximately the same mass, while electrons orbit the nucleus and have a much smaller mass. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. Changes in the number of protons determine the element, changes in the number of neutrons result in isotopes, and changes in the number of electrons create ions.
Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.
Atoms are made up of three types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element of the atom, while the number of neutrons and electrons can vary.
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the number of electrons or protons. The number of neutrons = Atomic weight of an isotope (rounded) - atomic number of the element (or the number of protons)

Protons have a positive charge Neutrons have no charge Electrons have a negative charge Protons and Neutrons are found in the nuclei of atoms, while Electrons orbit in layers. Neutrons separate the Protons so that they never touch each other. The number of Protons defines which element you have The number of neutrons defines the isotope you have The number of Electrons defines the charged ion you have

The ion with 52 protons, 76 neutrons, and 54 electrons is the ion of element tellurium (Te) with a charge of +2. The number of protons determines the element, the number of neutrons can vary in isotopes, and the number of electrons determines the charge of the ion.
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.
Atoms are made up of three types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element of the atom, while the number of neutrons and electrons can vary.
A magnesium atom has 12 protons, 12 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge, electrons a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The number of protons determines the element (in this case, magnesium), while the number of electrons balances the positive charge of the protons to maintain a neutral atom.
No, protons also make up the nucleus along with neutrons. Protons have a positive charge while neutrons have no charge. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary within isotopes of the same element.
