Question

An atom that has a negative four charge will have which of the following?Answer 4 more protons than electrons An equal amount of protons and electrons 4 more electrons than protons 2 more neutrons than protons,

Answer 1

In an atom electrons are negatively charged particles , protons are positively charged particles and neutrons as their name suggests have no charge . So if an atom has excess of negative charge it means that it has extra electrons This means answer is 4 more electrons than protons Cause this means that there are no protons to balance out the negative charge of those 4 extra electrons which creates negative four charge on atom
