A proton has a positive charge while an electron has a negative charge.
This negative charge equals the positive charge of the proton.
But in all other ways electrons do not equals protons.
For example:
Protons are 1800 times heavier.
And protons are in the core of atoms while electrons are circling the core.
It is true for atoms. It is different fir ions.
yes
atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal number of proton and electron.
The proton number of an atom determines what element it is an atom of. That is, it determines the chemical properties of the atom. It does this because the charge on the neutron is neutral, which means that the total charge of the nucleus is equal to the proton number, which it turn means that the number of electrons in the uncharged atom is equal to the proton number. And that in turn determines which electron shells will be filled and what valence electrons available. In this context, the proton number of the nucleus is the atomic number of theelement.
The number of PROTONs and the number of ELECTRONs are always equal in a neutral atom. Therefore an element with one PROTON will have one ELECTRON and that element will be called Hydrogen.
Both have equal and opposite charges.
Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.
because an atom is electrically neutral
They have not atomic numbers. Atomic number is made by number of protons an atom has.
The charge of the proton is +1. The charge of the electron is -1. They are equal but opposite.
atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal number of proton and electron.
Yes, a proton is a subatomic particle that carries a charge equal to but opposite to that of an electron. The proton has a positive charge, and the electron has a negative charge.
A proton has a positive charge which is equal in magnitude but opposite to the charge on an electron, which is negative.
An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no net electrical charge, as the number of positive (proton) and negative (electron) charges are balanced.
The proton number of an atom determines what element it is an atom of. That is, it determines the chemical properties of the atom. It does this because the charge on the neutron is neutral, which means that the total charge of the nucleus is equal to the proton number, which it turn means that the number of electrons in the uncharged atom is equal to the proton number. And that in turn determines which electron shells will be filled and what valence electrons available. In this context, the proton number of the nucleus is the atomic number of theelement.
The number of PROTONs and the number of ELECTRONs are always equal in a neutral atom. Therefore an element with one PROTON will have one ELECTRON and that element will be called Hydrogen.
if number of electron and protons are equal(except for H,as it has no proton,so it shoulh has one electron to be electrically neutral).
they are equal.
because an atom is electrically neutral.
