Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An object that has more electrons than protons would have what kind of charge?
A
Positive
B
Negative
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Objects with more electrons than protons are charged negatively; objects with fewer electrons than protons are charged positively.

Detailed explanation-2: -The answer is anion. Anion is the term used to describe a negatively-charged ion where there are more electrons than the number of protons in the atom.

Detailed explanation-3: -An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more electrons, and carries a net electric charge. If the result is an atom with more electrons than protons, the ion is negatively charged. If there are fewer electrons than protons the ion is positively charged.

Detailed explanation-4: -Materials with an excess of electrons are negatively charged. Those with a deficiency of electrons are positively charged.

Detailed explanation-5: -antiproton, subatomic particle of the same mass as a proton but having a negative electric charge and oppositely directed magnetic moment.
