And atom that has fewer neutrons and protons and more electrons than protons is a what ion

Hey there!

The two types of ions are anions and cations.

Anions are negative and cations are positive (cheesy, but CAT-ions are PAWS-itive helps me remember).

If there are more electrons than protons, then the negative charge will be higher than the positive charge. So, the ion will overall be negative.

This means the atom is an anion.

Hope this helps!

h let me think

that tool would be a compass
