Electrons are different from protons and neutrons in following ways:

1)Electrons have a negative charge

2) Electrons have negligible mass.

3) Electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific energy orbitals.

4) During chemical reactions it is the participation of electrons that gives different products.

What are the basic parts of an atom?

The atom has a nucleus in the middle made up of protons and neutrons. This nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons which inhabit different energy levels at different distances form the nucleus. The electrons are negatively charged, the protons are positively charged and the neutrons are electrically neutral. An atom always has the same number of electrons as it does protons, so the atom itself is electrically neutral.


How many protons are neutrons?

None -- all protons are protons, which are different from neutrons.


Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.


How are neutrons and protons different?

Protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral.


What is one thing protons and neutrons have different?

Charge. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral.


A lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons. What would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?

As you already know the atom consists of protons, neutron and eletrons. The number of protons determins which chemical element it is, and on the periodic table of elements, we can see that the next element after lithium is beryllium.-An atom with 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons.- An atom with 3 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons


How do electrons different from both protons and neutrons?

Electrons carry a negative charge, protons and neutrons do not.


How are protons and neutrons different from and similar from each other?
