An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
It has 3 more protons than electrons. Protons are 1+ and electrons are 1-. So the charge on the hypothetical ion would be 3+
Atoms are neutral particles consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons, while ions are charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Ions can be positively charged (cations) if they lose electrons or negatively charged (anions) if they gain electrons. Atoms do not have a net charge, whereas ions have a net positive or negative charge.
The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). In this case, the ion would have a charge of +1 since it has 1 more proton than electrons.
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.
A sodium ion with 11 protons and 10 electrons has a net charge of +1 because the number of protons (positive charge) is greater than the number of electrons (negative charge) by 1.
The charge of a sodium ion with 11 protons is +1, since it has one more proton than electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge of an ion.
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
A positive sodium ion has a charge of +1, as it has lost one electron. Sodium normally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, so when it loses one electron it becomes a sodium ion with a charge of +1.
The ion Na+ has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons. This is because sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it naturally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but as an ion with a +1 charge, it has lost 1 electron.
A sodium ion has a charge of 1+ because it has lost one electron, leaving it with one more proton than electrons. Protons have a positive charge, whereas electrons have a negative charge, so losing an electron results in a net positive charge for the sodium ion.
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
A sodium atom contains eleven electrons and has a net neutral electrical charge, because the atom also contains eleven protons. A sodium ion contains only ten electrons and has an electrical charge of +1, because it also contains 11 protons.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
A net postive charge
If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative. If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.
