what charge of an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?

An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.


All atoms have a blank charge?

If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.


Which particles determine the net charge of an atom or ion and how do you calculate that charge?

The net charge of an atom or ion is determined by the balance of protons and electrons. Protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge, contribute to the overall charge of the atom. To calculate the net charge, subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons: ( \text{Net Charge} = \text{Protons} - \text{Electrons} ). If an atom has more protons than electrons, it is positively charged (cation), while more electrons than protons result in a negative charge (anion).


An atom contains fewer electrons than protons has as negative ionic charge?

Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.


What charge does an ion have if it has more protons that electrons?

A net postive charge

What kind of charge is A material with more protons than electrons?

The material has a positive charge.


What charge is any atom?

the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions


what charge of an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?

An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.


What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?

The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.


What charge does an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?

A net postive charge


What does a charge on a ion indicate about the number of protons and electrons?

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.


All atoms have a blank charge?

If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.


Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?

That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What do you get if the number of protons and electrons are not equal?

An ion, which would have a positive charge if there are more protons, and a negative charge id there are more electrons.


If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?

Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.


What is the atoms charge if there are more protons than electrons in the atom?

positive!(: more protons = positive more electrons = negative say an atom has 2 more protons than electrons, it has a charge of 2+ if it had 3 more electrons than protons, it has a charge of 3- if electrons are taken away, what will the charge be? answer: positive, because there are less electrons same works vice versa. hope i helped! source: 8th grade science class(:


What charge would an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?

If an ion has more electrons than protons, it would have a negative charge. The charge of the ion would be equal to the excess of electrons over protons.
