∙ 11y ago1.Protons are positive (+) While electrons are negative (-)
2.Protons hang out with the nucleus while electrons separate from the nucleus.
3. Don't know lol

How much more massive is a proton compared to an electron?
Inaccurate statement as a hydrogen IS the proton. An atom is made up of the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the electrons. A Protium or Hydrogen-1 contains 1 proton and no neutrons, it however has 1 electron which makes up very little of the mass so you could say that. 1 electron is 1/1834 the mass of a proton. So hydrogen is ~ 1+ 5.4875×10^-4 amu
What is the difference between an antiproton and an electron?
[An anti-proton is the "dark side" to a proton. An anti-proton is formed when a proton was accelerated and then his something solid, breaking it apart. An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.] This is somewhat correct, but my understanding is that A proton is a structure of Two Up quarks (uu) and a Down quark (d) and a positron, or anti-electron. an antiproton has the same mass as a proton, and instead is made of two U-Bar Antiquarks and one D-bar antiquark, and an electron. I am not sure if this is completely correct, but if a proton and a antiproton, sometimes called a negiton, are combined they will Annihilate each other, creating a burst of energy. Quantum physics is a wierd science, so I could be very wrong indeed.
An atom with 1 proton and 1 neutron?
Yes and no, Hydrogen (naturally 1 proton, 1 electron, 0 neutrons), has an isotope (variation, with a different number neutrons), called Deuterium with 1 proton and one neutron. Deuterium composes less than 0.02% of the worlds Hydrogen.
Where are electrons located in a atoms?
Electrons are located in the electron cloud - no joke. Atoms are composed of the electron could and the nucleus.
Can neutrons be divided into protons and electrons?
Yes. We can (and do) smash protons. We can slam them into each other or we can slam protons into antiprotons. Big accelerators do this kind of work. The protons will break up, but the things that we get vary as the type of collisions (and the energies) involved in the smashing project. A proton is composed of two up quarks and a down quark, and a neutron is composed of two down quarks and an up quark. The neutron is unstable outside of a nucleus. It has a half-life of a bit under 886 seconds. That's about 14.8 minutes, roughly. When a free neutron decays, it decays into a proton, an electron and an electron antineutrino.
Why neutron mass is greater of proton mass?
A neutron could split into a proton plus an electron during the radioactive decay..
What particle most resembles a proton?
The particle that most resembles a proton could either be a neutron or an electron, and we'll have to explain that. The proton has about the same mass as the neutron, while the electron has only about 1/1836th the mass of a proton. The masses of the proton and neutron are similar. And both particles are found in the nucleus of atoms. The proton has the same electrical field strength as an electron (only of opposite polarity), while the neutron has no charge. The proton and electron have the same coulomb charge on them, except the sign of the charge. Both particles are carriers of fundamental electrical charges. In these two ways, the proton could be said to be like either the neutron or electron. And how the observer "looks" at them will determine which "likeness" he sees.
What are several properties of copper that distinguish it from another metal such as iron?
Color, melting point, and density are a few properties that could distinguish it from another metal.
How could properties such as color texture and temperature help scientists distinguish between 2 different samples of matter?

What are two physical properties that could not be used to distinguish between water and ethanol?
Color and volatility
What would if an electron was forced to bombard a proton?
Different possible outcomes, depending on the energy of the collision. At low energies the electron and proton could combine to form a Hydrogen atom. At high energies the collision can produce pions and other particles.

What properties could not be used to distinguish between table salt and table sugar?
color
Are protons hydrogen atoms?
No. A proton could be considered a hydrogen ion or hydrogen nucleus, but a hydrogen atom must also contain an electron.
Does an atom change with positive charges?
When an atom gains a positive charge it either gains a proton or gains an electron It could also lose one of them

Electrons are located in the electron cloud - no joke. Atoms are composed of the electron could and the nucleus.
