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.

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 is the charge of an atom if the number of protons is more than the number of neutrons What kind of particle is this called?
To answer the second part of your question, an element with varying neutrons is an isotope, and to determine which isotope it is we have the chemical symbol plus the mass number (ie C-14). Going back to the first part, this question is a bit flawed. Protons are relative to the element itself. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. So nitrogen will always have 7 protons. Neutrons have no charge (neutron=neutral), so a varying amount of neutrons will not affect the charge. To alter your charge you need to look into the amounts of electrons as relative to the amounts of protons, but that's a different matter.
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.
Which of the has an electric charge?
(a) a sodium atom with 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (b) a calcium atom with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons (c) a helium atom with 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons (d) an iron atom with 26 protons, 26 electrons, and 30 neutrons
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a?
the atom with a different number of electrons than protons called "Ion"
What type of protons are electrons?
Protons are not electrons. Protons (and neutrons) are in the family of subatomic particles called "baryons", while electrons are in the family called "leptons".
What do you call unequal number of protons and electrons?
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
What an atom will be if it has a different number of protons and electrons?
a) (well if it has different number of protons or electrons then it would be called an "ionized atom" either positive if more protons or negative if more electrons.) - if there are more neutrons inside the nucleus then protons you got isotopes - b) (well if it has different number of protons or electrons just look at the Periodic Table and count how many protons it has and look at the periodic table that will tell you what an atom will be )
What is a form of an element whose atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of electrons?
An atom with a different number of electrons is called an ion.
In what way are atoms of one element different from atoms of other elements?
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
What atom will be if it has a different number of protons and electron?
a) (well if it has different number of protons or electrons then it would be called an "ionized atom" either positive if more protons or negative if more electrons.) - if there are more neutrons inside the nucleus then protons you got isotopes - b) (well if it has different number of protons or electrons just look at the Periodic Table and count how many protons it has and look at the periodic table that will tell you what an atom will be )

What is an ion called that has fewer electrons than protons?
An ion with more protons than electrons is called a cation.

A potassium atom has how many protons and electrons?
A potassium atom has 19 protons.An uncharged atom therefore has 19 electrons, but in solution many potassium atoms exist as ions (K+), with 18 electrons.
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.
