What is the charge of an atom with one proton one neutron and one electron combined?
There is zero net charge as the proton (+ve) and electron (-ve) cancel each other out and the neutron is neutral.
How does an electron that was transferred to the shell of another atom stay there without another proton in the nucleus attracting it?
A common misconception is that proton 1 in the nucleus attracts electron 1 in the orbitals, proton 2 attracts electron 2, etc. This is very, very wrong: every proton attracts every electron all at once. Further electrons, as in beyond the neutral charge, are attracted in the same way as all other electrons, and held subject to a) repulsion and shielding from other electrons and b) remaing gaps in orbitals to fit them.
Reagents that seek to react with a proton or some other electron-deficient center are called?
Nucleophiles
What happens when two atoms are too close?
If they can bond, they will, and form a molecule. If they can't, then they bounce away.
The beta rays emitted from atomic nuclei?
There are two beta decay schemes. Beta- involves changing a neutron into a proton and emitting an electron and an electron antineutrino. Beta+ involves changing a proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and an electron neutrino. There are other steps and factors involved, but that is the simple explanation.
What happens when two electrons get closer together?
The electron in each atom starts to notice the proton of the other atom. As a result, it becomes attracted not only to its own proton, but to the proton of the other atom as well. ... And electrons tend to repel each other.
What happens to potential energy when a proton is brought closer to an electron?
Protons all have positive charge, so they repel each other. It takes work to push two protons closer together, so you're putting energy into them (potential energy increases). If you let go, the potential energy is released when the protons fly apart; it becomes kinetic energy.
A proton is a subatomic particle carrying a charge equal to but opposite that of an electron true or false?
True. But please note that there are other differences between the proton and the electron as well - for example, the proton has a larger mass, and the proton is made up of smaller particles, while the electron - as far as we know - is not.
Who particles are unstable in electron and proton?
The value of quarkes partical in protonis less than the value of quarkes particalin electron in this condition proton is share of energy in form of partical to nutron and electron beacose proton made from two up and one down quarkes particals fully not shears of energy to each other in proton . but quarkes particals are shear of energy to each other in side of electron beacose three up same quarkes particals are in side of electron.
What is the charge of an atom with one proton one neutron and one electron combined?
There is zero net charge as the proton (+ve) and electron (-ve) cancel each other out and the neutron is neutral.
What is electron donor?
A proton donor is a molecule that donates it's protons to other molecules.
Does electron has lesser amount of charge than proton?
No, their charge is equal to each other.
Why is hydrogen unique from other periodic elements?
as it has only one proton and electron and no neutrons
Which particle is not found in the nucleus?
Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of electron, neutron and proton particles. Electrons are negatively charged, neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge.

A common misconception is that proton 1 in the nucleus attracts electron 1 in the orbitals, proton 2 attracts electron 2, etc. This is very, very wrong: every proton attracts every electron all at once.

Can electrons be found in the nucleus of an atom?
Though the electron itself is not present in the nucleus of an atom, the elementary particles that make up the electron are present inside the neutron. In other words, a neutron is made up of an electron and a proton. How do we know this? Because when a neutron decays, it slowly decays into a proton and an electron. It's a cycle.
