hi.
is it Possible that in atoms can be more electrons than Protons?
is not must to be Equal?
thanks

Yes, atoms can have more electrons than protons. This is known as an anion, where the atom has gained one or more extra electrons and has a negative charge.
An atom can have more electrons than protons through a process called ionization. This can occur through the gain of an extra electron from another atom, or through the removal of a proton.
When an atom has more electrons than protons, it becomes negatively charged. This can affect the atom's chemical and physical properties, as well as its reactivity with other atoms.
No, an atom with more electrons than protons is considered to have a negative charge and is no longer neutral. However, if the number of electrons and protons are equal, the atom is considered to be neutral.
No, an atom can only have a certain number of electrons. The maximum number of electrons that an atom can hold is determined by its atomic number, which is equal to the number of protons. For example, carbon has an atomic number of 6, so it can only hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
