Electrons are very tiny compared to protons and neutrons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.

What if the proton has a different number of nuetrons?
protons have the same number as electrons in a stable form. neutrons differ from both in most cases
How do you calculate the amount of protons or neutrons in an element?
well you look at the periodic table of elements. the atomic number equals the number of protons. Then subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass (both protons and nuetrons have atomic mass units of 1 and electrons equal 0). That will give you the number of nuetrons.
How are protons and nuetrons a like?
They are both found in the nucleus of an atom.
How many protons and electrons and neutrons does Ge-74 have?
The isotope Germanium -72 has 32 proton, 40 neutrons and 32 electrons. Two other stable isotopes are Ge-70 (38 neutrons) and Ge-74 (42 neutrons) both with the same numbers of protons and electrons as Ge-72 There is also a low percentage stable isotope Ge-73
What is the difference between an atomic number and mass number?
no. of protons+no. of nuetrons in an atom is known as mass no. of that atom.while no . of protons present in an atom is called its atomic no.thus, in 1st condition we consider both, no. of protons as well as no. of nuetrons and in the 2nd condition we just consider no. of protons.
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 different from both protons and neutrons?
Electrons carry a negative charge, protons and neutrons do not.
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 is the correct number of subatomic particles in an atom of an element with atomic number 48 and mass number 120?
The atomic number of an atom tells you how many protons are present in the nucleus. So there are 50 in the element. By the way, an element with 50 protons and 70 neutrons (120-50) is a stable form of Tin.
What is equal to the protons in an atom?
The atomic number, and electrons are both the same number as protons.
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.
What gives the number of both the protons and electrons in an atom?
ok so first you look at the atomic #. For helium that is 2. that is the number of protons, and electrons are the same # of protons . long story short, the atomic # is the number of protons which r the # of electrons
