Is an electric charge a proton?
No. Electric charges are generally electrons.
How much electrons equal to one protons?
In the quantity of the electrical charge, the electron and the proton contain equal but opposite charges. In terms of mass, the proton is about equal in mass to 1876 electrons.
What pairs of particles have the same charges is it two protons a proton and an electron two electrons or a proton and a neutron?
Proton has 1 unit of positive charge.Electron has 1 unit of negative charge.NEUTRon has no charge. It's NEUTRal.Two protons: . . . . . . . . . . Two charges, same size, both positive.1 proton + 1 electron: . . . Two charges, same size, opposite signs.Two electrons: . . . . . . . . . Two charges, same size, both negative.1 proton + 1 NEUTRon : . . One positive charge, the other one NEUTRal.
How many electrons can balance with the 1 proton?
One electron balances the charge on one proton. Their charges are equal and opposite.
Is a proton or a neutron the opposite of an electron?
Protons and electrons have opposite charges. Neutrons, as the name implies, are neutral.
Explain why a neutral atom cannot have one proton one neutron and two electrons?
an atom with a neutral charge must have the same number of protons as electrons. (think of a proton as having a +1 charge and an electron having a -1 charge. in order for the atom to be neutral, the positive charges must balance with the negative charges) If the atom has 1 proton and 2 electrons, then the overall charge is -1
Does the movement of proton causes static electricity?
No. Static energy is present, whether charges (such as protons, or electrons) move, or not.
Which charge is the largest proton or electron?
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge. Both these charges are equal and opposite.
An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no?
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.
What are the 3 charges of an element?
The charges of a particle making up an atom are negative (electron), positive (proton) and neutral (neutron). Atoms can become cations (+) when they lose a certain number of electrons. They can also become anions (-) when they gain a number of electrons.
What would be attracted to a proton?
Electrons are attracted to protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Due to the laws of magnetics these opposing charges will attract.
What are the silimarities between a proton and an electron?
Both are subatomic particles. Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge. The charges are equal and opposite.
