Which statement is true of all atoms that are anions?

(A) The atoms have more electrons than protons.

(B) The atom has more protons than electrons.

(C) The atom has fewer protons than does a neutral atom of thesame element.

(D) The atom has more neutrons than protons.

The molecule or atom that possesses the charge is referred to as ions. Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. There are two types of the ions such ascation and anions.The element that has more electrons compared to protons is referred to as anion.

The positive charge is due to protons, and the negative charge is due to the presence of electrons—increased electron count results in the formation of the anion.

Thus, electrons are the determining factors in the formation of the anion.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

The positive charge is due to the presence of protons in theatoms. So, the increase in the number of protons results in the formation of the cations.

Thus, the protons are not responsible for the charge in theanion.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

The neutral atoms are the neutrons that are equally present inthe nucleus compared to the protons. The number of protons is more compared tothe neutrons and results in the formation of cations.

Thus, the cations formed due to the increase of the protons are opposite to the anions.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Neutrons of the atoms do not contain any charge and are neutral. This neutron does not contribute to the formation of charges.

Thus, neutrons are particles that have no charge.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
