Question

What will the overall charge of an atom be if it has more protons than electrons?

A:neutrally charged
B:negatively charged
C:ionically charged
D:positively charged

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Neutrally charged atoms have the same number of protons and electrons.

B: Negatively charged atoms have more electrons than protons. These are also called anions.

C: ironically charged is a molecule that has a charge so a cation or an anion. This option isn't correct becuase it's not specific enough for the question. An ion can be positively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion).
