What kind of protons do sodium atoms have?

Sodium has 11 positively charged protons. (All atoms have positively charged protons, though they differ in hte number of protons).


How does an electron differ from neutron?

Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom (along with positively charged protons). Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles that are revolving around the nucleus of an atom. The mass of neutron is 1 amu and the mass of electron is about 1837 times less than that of neutron.


How do the electric charges of alpha beta and gamma rays differ?

Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.


How do electrically charged objects differ?

Differ from what precisely? If you are talking about from the other substances it differs by an excess or shortage of electrons. If you are talking about magnetic substances then these charged objects are charged and yes they also would possess magnetic field if they were in motion. Magnets on the other hand gain their magnetism from the internal alignment of electrons.

How do the plum pudding model and Rutherfords model of an atom differ?

The plum pudding model displays the atom as negatively charged electron embedded in a fluid of positive charge, thus the name plum for the electron and the pudding for the positive fluid thought to balance the negative charges. The Rutherford model is based on the gold foil experiment and it has a nucleus in which is extremely small, positively charged and dense. The model has lots of empty space around the nucleus which was where the electrons were placed.


How does a cation differ from an onion?

I assume you mean 'anion' instead of 'onion'.A cation is a positively charged ion. It loses one or more negatively charged electrons when forming ionic compounds. An anion is a negatively charged ion. It gains one or more electrons when forming ionic compounds. Every ionic compound must contain both a cation and an anion so that the compound as a whole has no charge.A common example: In the ionic compound table salt (NaCl), sodium (Na+) is the cation, and chloride (Cl-) is the anion.It may also be helpful to note that cations are almost always metals and anions are typically nonmetals.On a lighter note:If you really did mean 'onion', then the answer is simple: one goes in your salad and one does not. :)


How does NaCl differ from NCl?

Na (sodium) is an atom in singularity, whereas NaCl (sodium chloride) is a compound made up of the two atoms Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine). They are combined due to the attraction between positively charged and negatively charged atoms. Na is positively charged with one more proton than electrons (1+) and Cl is negatively charged with one more electron than protons (1-). I hope that helped :-)

List three main particles of an atom and explain how they differ from one another?

Protons and neutrons are found in the atom's nucleus and represent practically all of an atom's mass. Protons are positively charged, while neutrons are neutral. Electrons orbit the nucleus in regions called energy levels (or shells) and carry a negative charge.
