Question

What charge would an ion have if it had more electrons than protons?

Answer 1

That ion will have the charge of every extra electrons.

Answer 2

A negative charge for each extra electron

Step-by-step explanation:

Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. An ion is formed when in an atom the number of protons differs from the number of electrons.

If there are more electrons that protons, then the net sum of negative charges would be greater than the net sum of positive charges, thus the ion would have a negative charge.
