Proton: positive charged particle, contained in atomic nucleus, mass=approx. 1 u
Neutron: neutral particle, contained in atomic nucleus, mass=approx. 1 u
Electron: negative charged particle, component of an atom (but not contained in nucleus), mass=approx. 1/1836 from the mass of a proton.
Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
they all have protons,neutrons,and electrons
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
Protons and neutrons have about the same mass, but electrons are much, much lighter.
Several come to mind. They are both found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. They are nearly the same size, though neutrons are a bit larger. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an isotope of an element is its mass number.
The weight of an atom is primarily controlled by the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same weight, while electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.
9 protons and 10 neutrons in F-19 isotope.
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
none because the number of protons and electrons have to be the same.
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.
Ideally, all elements should have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons unless they become ionic. This is how elements such as the noble gases remain stable. They the same number of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and a full octet.
Rutherfordium has 104 electrons and 104 protons. The number of neutrons is between 149 and 264, depending on the isotope.
