What do protons and electrons have that neutrons do not?
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
What has the smaller mass protons electrons or nutrons?
Electrons have a smaller mass than both protons and neutrons. Both protons and neutrons are over 1800 times as massive as electrons.
How do electrons differ from both protons and nuetrons?
Electrons are very tiny compared to protons and neutrons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.
What does protons electrons neutrons mean?
Electrons, protons, and neutrons are different parts of an atom. The proton is positive and the electron is negative while the neutron is of both equally. Depending on the number of each is in an atom, is the type of atom you have.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does Ca have?
Electrons have no relevant mass, and protons and neutrons both have the mass of 1u. If Calcium has the number 20, it has 20 protons (and electrons). It's mass is about 40u. Core Mass - Protons = Neutrons 40u - 20u = 20u, this means Calcium has 20 electrons, 20 protons and 20 neutrons.
What both protons and neutrons?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. The electrons are also in the nucleus as well as chromosomes and genes.
How are protons and neutrons alike?
Neutrons and protons are alike because when the electrons orbit around an atom, they are both in the center of the atom, or in the nucleus!!!
What three things is each element composed of?
Protons, neutrons (both in the nucleus) and electrons.
What statement is true about atoms protons neutrons and electrons?
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.
What is true about both nitrogen and oxygen?
They are both made of protons, neutrons, and electrons
What effect produced by changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
What differentiates one element from another (like Hydrogen from Helium) is the number of protons in the nucleus. When protons are added (as happens in nuclear fusion) or subtracted (nuclear fission), the element transmutes into another element. When the number of Protons are changed, both the Electrons and Neutron (numbers) will change too. Protons are paired with electrons. Protons + Electrons = Neutrons, thus reinforcing that both the Electrons and Neutrons will change when the number of Protons has.
Are protons and electrons both found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom?
No. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, but not electrons. Electrons are found in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
