What else can I help you with?
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
What is the atom with the most electrons than protons is called?
If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion. More specifically an anion (negatively charged)
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
If an atom is positively charged, it has lost one or more electrons and has more protons than electrons. This results in an overall positive charge due to the unbalanced positive charges from the protons.
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion. This is because it now has more positive charge (from the protons) than negative charge (from the electrons), leading to an overall positive charge.
When there are more protons than electrons what are they called?
When there are more protons than electrons in an atom, it is called an ion. Specifically, it is a cation when it has a positive charge due to the excess protons.
Is the number of protons the positive charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
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. 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. 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. 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.
What effect does the charge of the atom have on the number of protons?
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
When the number of electrons and protons are not the same in an atom, it becomes an ion. An atom becomes positively charged if it loses electrons (more protons than electrons), and negatively charged if it gains electrons (more electrons than protons).
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 is the atom with the most electrons than protons is called?
If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion. More specifically an anion (negatively charged)
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
If an atom is positively charged, it has lost one or more electrons and has more protons than electrons. This results in an overall positive charge due to the unbalanced positive charges from the protons.
When is an atom called ion?
An ion is a electrically charged atom (negative ion) has more electrons that protons and positive ion has more protons that electrons)
What does it mean when an atom has more protons then electrons?
When an atom has more protons than electrons it is called an ion. This is a positively charged particle because it has more protons than electrons, thus the positive charge takes over.
How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
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(:
