The most accurate characterization of an atom that experiences repulsion from a positively charged atom is:
**The atom contains a greater number of electrons than protons.**
This is because an atom with more electrons than protons is negatively charged overall, and negative charges repel positive charges.
**The atom contains a greater number of electrons than protons.**
This is because an atom with more electrons than protons is negatively charged overall, and negative charges repel positive charges.
