It is true that neutrons have no charge, but they do have mass. This mass is approximately 1.0087 AU, or 1.67*10^-27 kilograms.

What electrical charge do protons neutrons and electrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
What are neutrons and their charge?
Neutrons have no charge and are neutral, thus the name neutrons.
The mass of a neutron is nearly equal to the mass of what other subatomic particle?
No, an alpha particle is the nucleus of a normal helium atom - 2 protons + 2 neutrons. Therefore, an alpha particle has approximately 4 times the mass of a proton or neutron.No, an alpha particle is the nucleus of a normal helium atom - 2 protons + 2 neutrons.

Atoms are made of what subatomic particles?
All atoms, except Hydrogen-1 which is only one electron and one proton, are made of three fundamental particles: neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutrons and protons are also made of up and down quarks. Electrons have very little mass and a charge of negative one while protons and neutrons are more massive and of approximately equal mass. Neutrons have no charge (neutral charge) whereas protons have a charge of positive one.
A proton has a what?
A proton has a positive charge.
What electrical charge do protons neutrons and electrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
What kind of electrical do protons electrical charges and neutrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
What is the proton equal to in the atom?
The proton in an atoms nucleus has a positive charge. The nucleus of an atom contains protons an neutrons whilst the electrons "orbit" the nucleus and have a negative charge.
What kinds of electral charge do protons electrons and neutrons have?

What are neutrons and their charge?
Neutrons have no charge and are neutral, thus the name neutrons.
Does charge of proton and elactron are equal?
The charge of the proton is +1. The charge of the electron is -1. They are equal but opposite.
Do proton electron neutron have what charge?
Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge. The charge of one electron and one proton are equal yet opposite so they cancel out one another.Neutrons have a neutral charge -Apex
What two particles are found in this central core and what are then charges of these particles?
there are two, yes. One is a proton, the other is a neutron. Protons have a positive charge equal but opposite to the charge of the electron, and neutrons have no charge.
What is the electric charge does proton have in electron?
A proton has a positive charge which is equal in magnitude but opposite to the charge on an electron, which is negative.
Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.

What electric charge is in atoms with equal numbers of electrons and protons?
A proton and an electron possess equal amount of charge (about 1.6e-19 C), except that a proton carries a positive charge and an electron, negative. Hence, the net charge is nil -- the atom is electrically neutral.
