What else can I help you with?
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 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.
Is an electron just a name for both neutrons and protons?
No. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus. The best way to think about an atom is to look at it as a miniature version of our solar system. The nucleus would be the sun (protons and neutrons) and the electrons would be the planets, orbiting around it.
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.
How many neutrons protons and electrons are in an an 0-16 atom?
An oxygen-16 atom has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. This is because the atomic number of oxygen is 8, which defines the number of protons and electrons, and the atomic mass is 16, which includes both protons and neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons in sodium?
All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.
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 has the smaller mass protons electrons or nutrons?
Electrons have the smallest mass compared to protons and neutrons. The mass of a proton is approximately 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron, and the mass of a neutron is slightly greater than that of a proton.
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.
