Question

There are more electrons than protons in a negatively charged atom.

True
False

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gain electron.

If an atom gains electrons, it will have more number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry negative charge and will lead to the formation of anion.

If an atom looses electrons, it will have less number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry positive charge and will lead to the formation of cation.

Hence, the given statement is true.
