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 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).


What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?

If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.


When an atom has different amounts of protons and electrons it is called an?

An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.


When an object positively charged it has more blank than blank?

If the Object is an aton, it has more protons than electrons.

What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?

An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.


What is true of all atoms that are anions A more electrons than protons B more protons than electrons C fewer protons than neutral atom of same element D more neutrons than protons E net charge is 1-?

Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.


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.


Do all atoms that are anions have more electrons than protons?

Atom that are anions have two more electrons than it has in protons.


What is Electrical charge with more electrons than protons?

Negative ... which is what electrons are, (whereas protons are positive).


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.


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.
