What will happen in a case there  is different number of electrons compare to  protons is D: The particle is considered an ion.

  • An ion can be regarded as atom or molecule which posses some amount of electron more than amount of protons and vice versa.

  • It can be regarded as molecules that has a charge. i.e ( -ve or +ve)

  • When the number of electron in this molecules or atom is more that that of the present protons, then the ion is negatively charged ion.

  • When a particles posses less electron compare to the present protons then the ion is positively charged.

Therefore, an ion can be charged positively and it can be charged negatively
