When an ion is formed, the number of protons does not change. Neutral atoms can be turned into positively charged ions by removing one or more electrons. ... A neutral chlorine atom, for example, contains 17 protons and 17 electrons. By adding one more electron we get a negatively charged Cl- ion with a net charge of -1.
