Charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons are called ions.. A perfect example of this is H+, which is a hydrogen with one less electron than normal. In other words, H+ is a single proton, with no electrons.

What are charged atoms if elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons?
These substances are called ions.
What does having an unequal number or protons and electrons do to an atom?
It makes it an ion: If have more protons than electrons is positive. (cation) If more electrons than protons is negative. (anion)
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
That is called an ion.
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
Is true in regard to ions A. Losing one or more electrons will turn an atom into an anion. B. An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons. C. A cation will H?
- An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.- Hydrogen form the cation H+.
What are atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons an electrons?
Ions.
What are charged atoms if elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons?
These substances are called ions.
What is a particle that has unequal numbers of protons and electrons?
an ion
What is a atom with a unequal amount of protons and electrons is called what?
An Ion
What does having an unequal number or protons and electrons do to an atom?
It makes it an ion: If have more protons than electrons is positive. (cation) If more electrons than protons is negative. (anion)
What are charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons?
Ions
Is it true that the unequal sharing of electrons occur when an atom's protons have a greater pull on the shared electrons?
no
An atom that has a positive or negative charge due to having unequal numbers of protons and electrons?
Ion If an atom either give up or gains electrons, it becomes an ion. an atom that has a positive or negative charge due to unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
That is called an ion.
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 can be said about the number of protons and electrons in an atom Why?
For any element an atom contains EQUAL number of protons and electrons. An atom has no charge. If any given atom has an unequal number of electrons and protons it is no longer an atom, but an ION.
Ions are charged particles. Therefore ions must always have an unequal number of?
Ions are charged particles therefore ions must always have an unequal number of Protons and Electrons. Since the amount of protons, in general, can't change, then the amount of charge is controlled by how much electrons are present. E.g., If there is 7 protons and 7 electrons, the charge is 0 as the protons cancelled out the electrons. However if it gained 3 electrons, it would be 7 protons and 10 electrons and therefore have a charge of -3 (Because electrons are negatively charged)
