hi friend
here's your answer looking for
when any atom has an equal number of electron and proton then, it will gain the negative charge or positive charge.
so, as your question is about what will an atom be called when it has more protons than electron.
is the protons are more in numbers, then, it is sure that there will be excess of positive charge. so that atom will be positively charged.
and the positively charged atom that has lack of some electrons is called as cation or positive ion.
hope you are satisfied with my answer
