Are the charges of an electron cancelled by the charges of a proton?

Yes. The magnitude of electrical charge on a proton is the same as the magnitude of electrical charge on an electron. The charge on a proton is positive and the charge on an electron is neutral, so that a pair containing one of each of them has no net electrical charge.

What is the difference in the amount of charges in a proton and electron?
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
What are the types of charges?
Electron and Proton
How do a proton and a electon compare?
They have opposite charges.
How do a proton and an electron compared?
They have opposite charges.
What are the charges of the proton neutron electron?
Proton's have a positive charge, neutron'shave a neutral charge, electron's have a negative charge
What are the charges for an electron and a proton?
A proton has a positive charge of +1 An electron has a negative charge of -1 An neutron has no charge
Which charge contributes to the proton electron and neutrion?
The three principal particles of an atom are the proton, electron and neutron. The proton and electron have +1 and -1 charges respectively. The neutron does not have a charge.
What are the relative charges of proton neutron and electron?
Proton's have a positive charge, neutron'shave a neutral charge, electron's have a negative charge
What are protons neutrons and electron charges?
Proton: Positive Neutron: No charge Electron: Negative
What is a good comparison of the charges of an electron and the charges of a proton?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
How is proton and electron alike?
Both have equal and opposite charges.
Is it true or false that the proton and the electron have similar masses but opposite electrical charges?
False. A proton is about 2000 times heavier than an electron.
