The charge has nothing to do with the mass, so there's no difficulty: A negative charge is one having the same sign as the charge on an electron. If you don't want electrons mentioned at all: A negative charge is one having the opposite sign as the charge on a proton.

Mass and charge are not connected. Negative charge is the charge carried by an electron.


Differnce between holes and electron?

Electron: It is a negative charged elementary particle. Hole: The vacant seat of electron is called hole. It can attract an electron jumping to holes. Therefore, location of holes keep changing. it is not an ion because it is created without the removal of electron.

Can a speed of a body be negative?

The 'speed' of a body cannot be negative. But if you are stating the 'velocity' then it can be negative. Negative velocity means it is going opposite to the direction that you decided to call the positive direction.


Is the charge of electron equal but opposite to the charge of neutron?

A neutron has no charge. That's why it is called a neutron; the neu part stands for neutral, meaning without charge. The charge of an electron, which is -1, is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is +1.

Why electron in hydrogen not collide with proton?

Electrons in a hydrogen atom do not collide with the proton due to the electromagnetic forces that balance the attraction between them (proton and electron). The electron orbits the nucleus in defined energy levels, establishing stability within the atom. The probability distribution of an electron's position allows it to be close to the proton without actually colliding with it.


Why the electrons have only negative charge why not positive charge?

There is a real force associated with the electron. This little guy has a "force field" standing around it at all times. All day, every day. It cannot be made to go away. This field of force has been given the name "electric" and it is an electric (force) field. We also give the designator "negative" to that field to identify its polarity. That's because the force field has "direction" associated with it. In sum, the electron has this field around it because it cannot "not" have it. The negative electric field of the electron is an intrinsic quality that cannot be separated from it. When an electron comes into existence, it appears with its negative charge, and that's what make it negative.

Can an electron stay in an excited state without outside energy?

No, an electron cannot remain in an excited state without additional energy input. Excited states are temporary and the electron will eventually return to its ground state, releasing the energy it absorbed as photons.
