a negative ion means that an electron(s) has been gained. therefore, there will be a higher number of electrons than protons, as the number of protons will not change
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
The negative particles in an atom are electrons. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. They are responsible for the bonding and interactions between atoms.
Protons are positive particles from the atomic nucleus; electrons are negative particles.
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
Yes, there is a relationship between atomic mass and the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, as electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, in order to maintain a balanced charge.
In a neutral atoms, the numbers of protons and electrons must be the same, because each of these particles has the same magnitude of electrical charge.
They are equal.
Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. The relationship between the charges of a proton and an electron is that they are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.
For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.
...the number of electrons. This balance between positive protons and negative electrons gives the atom a neutral charge overall.
Protons are positive, and electrons are negative.
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
No. Protons are positive and neutrons are neutral. Electrons are negative.
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
The charge on an ion indicates the imbalance between the number of protons and electrons. If an ion has a positive charge, it has more protons than electrons. If it has a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons.
Protons are positive, remember pro is +. Electrons are negative.
