This occurs because the absolute value of the positive charge of the protons, which are concentrated in the nucleus of the atom, is offset by the negative charge of the electrons also in the atom but more diffusely located outside the nucleus. The absolute values of the charge on a proton and the charge on an electron are equal, but the charge on protons is positive and that on electrons is negative. If an atomic size entity contains no electrons, it is not an atom but a positive ion.
Neutrons have no charge.
Additionally, if an atom has the same number of electrons as protons, their charges cancel each other out.
Correct. Protons are positive, electrons are negstive, and neutrons have no charge
No, protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge and neutrons have no charge
(a) a sodium atom with 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (b) a calcium atom with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons (c) a helium atom with 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons (d) an iron atom with 26 protons, 26 electrons, and 30 neutrons
Electrons are smaller in mass, but equal to protons in charge, although with the opposite charge, and bigger than neutrons in charge.
No Neutrons have no charge at all.-Olivia F.No they are neutral.no they are neutral protons are positive electrons are negative
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge
Neutrons: no electrical charge Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge
Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.
the protons have a +1 charge, the neutrons zero charge and the electrons -1 charge
Protons have a positive charge, Electrons have a negative charge, and Neutrons have a neutral charge. Neutrons help to ground the charges of protons and electrons.
Electrons are 1,836 times lighter than protons. A proton is 99.8% the mass of a neutron
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
They are neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutrons have zero charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.They are neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutrons have zero charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
Atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. And neutrons have no charge at all.
Electrons carry a negative charge, protons and neutrons do not.
