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?

If a proton has a different number of neutrons, it becomes an isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons, which can impact the stability and properties of the atom.


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.


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.


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.


How do electrons different from both protons and neutrons?

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


What is equal to the protons in an atom?

The atomic number, and electrons are both the same number as protons.


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 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


How many protons and electrons does a neutron have?

None. Protons and electrons are not constituents of a neutron. Both neutrons and protons are constituents of an atom's nucleus (core), while the electrons are situated in the electronic cloud around the nucleus.


What is it that protons and electrons have in common that neutrons do not have?

Protons and electrons are both electrically charged particles (positive and negative, respectively), and the neutron has no electrical charge.
