Each electron contributes a charge of -1 elementary charge; each proton a charge of +1. In a neutral atom, there is the same amount of protons and electrons; in this case, the charges cancel, and (to the outside), the total charge is zero. If an atom has more or less electrons than protons, it DOES have an electrical charge; those atoms are called "ions".

∙ 13y agothey are particles that make up the atom. protons and neutrons make up the nucleus, or control center, of the atom. without the nucleus, the atom cannot function. electrons travel in orbitals around the nucleus, and the orbitals and electrons shape the atoms.

A proton neutron and electron are in the nucleus of an atom?
yes they are what makes up the atom
What are the names of the particles in the atom?
The 3 Particles in a atom are * Proton * Neutron * Electron
If you added a proton a neutron and an electron to an atom would the atom still be the same?
no
What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
What are three subatomic paarticles in an atom?
Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.
Atom made of?
neutron, proton, electron
What is an atom name that is made of a proton a neutron and an electron?
It is the atom of deuterium. Its nucleus is composed of a proton and one neutron. The atom has one electron that is orbiting around the nucleus.
How many particles do the atom have?
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
3 particles of the atom?
Proton,electron and neutron.
What are the subparticles of an atom?
proton, neutron, electron- in the nucleus
What does PEN stand for in atom?
Proton, Electron, and Neutron.
What are the 3 partcles of the atom?
Proton, neutron, and electron. A proton has a positive charge. A neutron is neutral (no charge) and an electron has a negative charge.
Which charge contributes to the proton electron and neutrion?
The three principal particles of an atom are the proton, electron and neutron. The proton and electron have +1 and -1 charges respectively. The neutron does not have a charge.
Which are the subatomic particles of an atom?
These particles are: proton, neutron, electron. Proton and neutron contain quarks and gluons.
What happen when you take way an electron and a proton?
I think you won't have a atom because the electron, proton and neutron is the basic part of the atom.
What are the names of elements?
Well if you are talking about an atom then here are the parts of an atom proton,neutron,and electron here are the short names of them proton= P+ neutron= N and electron= e-
