An atom with 2 electrons would be helium, an atom with 8 electrons would be oxygen, and an atom with 6 electrons would be carbon.
The number of protons determine which element an atom is and normally the number of electrons is equal to it. Strip an electron off an iron atom and you have an ionised iron atom.
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
All electrons are the same. A negatively charged atom would be an anion.
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
Positive ion
An atom with 2 electrons would be helium, an atom with 8 electrons would be oxygen, and an atom with 6 electrons would be carbon.
By adding energy (heat) to an atom, it is possible to ionize the atom by stripping the electrons away from the nucleus. It is easy to strip away one or two electrons even at low temperatures, but in the nuclear core of a star (where the temperature can reach MILLIONS of degrees) it would be common to remove all of the electrons from every atom.
A neutral xenon atom would have 54 electrons filled in its electron shells.
The neutral atom of cadmium has 48 electrons.

That atom is Arsenic. It would have 33 electrons.
The number of electrons will be 118.
6 electrons
Beryllium has 4 electrons
