Do Protons have the same magnitude of charge as electrons but are opposite in sign?

No. Protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.
Protons have exactly the opposite charge as that of electrons, even though they differ greatly in mass. Proton is 1826 times heavier than electron.

∙ 14y agoThey are opposite in charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. The mass of a proton is 1838 times that of an electron.
Mass of electron: 9.10939 x 10-31 kg
Mass of proton: 1.67262 x 10-27 kg

∙ 9y agoProtons and neutrons are subatomic particles, along with electrons. Neutrons do not have a charge while protons are positively charged.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons (as their name suggests) have a neutral or zero charge.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNeutrons have no charge. They are neutral, hence the name neutron. Other than that you are correct, protons do have a positive charge and electrons do have a negative charge.

How do protons and electrons differ in their electronic charge?
Protons and electrons have equal and opposite charge of the Elementary charge e, with protons being e+ and electrons e-
Why electrons are attracted to protons?

Why does the atom have no overall charge?
In an uncharged atom the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. The charges on these particles is of the same magnitude but of opposite sign, the protons being positive and the electrons negative. The charges cancel or balance each other.
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
An atom has 6 protons and 8 neutrons and is elecrically neutral how many electrons does the atom have?
6 electrons. Neutrons have no charge, and protons have a positive charge, at an equal but opposite charge of an electron (think of it like protons are +1, electrons are -1). You need the exact same number of electrons as protons in order to have a neutral atom.
Protons have magnitude of charge as neutron but opposite in sign?
Protons have charge while neutrons do not. Hence, "neu-" like neutral? Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge.
What do electrons have that protons always have in equal magnitude?
Charge

What parts of an atom are equal to each other?
It depends on what you mean by what parts are equal. Protons and electrons both have the same magnitude of charge with opposite signs and electrons are much less massive than protons. Protons and neutrons are approximately equal in mass but protons have a charge of +e Coulombs while neutrons have a charge of 0. Atoms can often exist with unequal numbers of protons and electrons. Such atoms are called ions and have a negative charge if they have more electrons than protons and positive charge if they have more protons than electrons.
Calculate the net charge on a substance consisting of a combination of 7.01013 protons and 4.01013 electrons?
Because protons and electrons have the same magnitude of electric charge each, but of opposite signs, this charge would be 7.01013 - 4.01013 = 4. (Only one significant digit is given, and the question itself is suspicious, because fractional protons and electrons do not exist!)
What is the charge on an ion with 65 protons and 69 electrons?
Remember.. I f there are more electrons than protons in an ion the charge will be negative. Here there is a -4 charge because the electrons are higher than the protons, if it were the opposite the charge would be +4.
Do protons have an opposite electrical charge from electrons?
Protons= Positive chargeElectrons= Negative chargeso no they do not have the same electrical charge
What subatomic particles are electrons attracted to?
The electron has a negative charge, so it would attract and be attracted by particles of opposite/unlike charge (positive charge) such as protons.
Why does the atom have no overall charge?
In an uncharged atom the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. The charges on these particles is of the same magnitude but of opposite sign, the protons being positive and the electrons negative. The charges cancel or balance each other.
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
What must be equal in a neutral atom?
Protons and electrons must be equal in a neutral atom because protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.
