For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms are present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.
When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.
When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation and thus protons will be more than electrons.
When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion and thus electrons will be more than protons.
