That's not a question that can be answered. We do not know why there are three generations of fundamental particles, and so it stands to reason that we do not know what would be necessary for only one generation. I hypothesize that the constants and forces of nature would be entirely different, but this is making an assumption that our three generations of particles rely on the constants and forces of nature and I cannot prove my assumption.

The simplest answer, and by far the least satisfying, is I don't know.

Its a matter of balance. With only a positively charged particle, everything would repel everything else and the universe would fly apart. With oppositely charged particles, some matter repels and some attracts. Of course, this does not consider the strong force, which is always attractive, nor does it consider the weak force, in which neutrons factor into the equation.

What is the invisible negatively changed particle?

There are many subatomic particles with negative charge, but the first negatively charged particle that anyone learns about is the electron. It is only invisible in the sense that humans can not see it because it is so small. It is a perfectly normal subatomic particle and certainly the most common negatively charged particle in the universe.


What has a positively charged subatomic particles?

The proton is the subatomic particle which carries the positive charge. It has a charge of +1 and a mass of 1,672 621 637(83).10-27 kg. Also, a positron, essentially a positively charged electron, has a positive charge but only exists as antimatter.


Does a beta particle have a zero charge?

The particle that carries the positive charge (a proton) is much more massive than the particle that carries the negative charge (an electron) The charges are equal in magnitude though of opposite polarity.


Chances of the alpha particle directly hitting the nucleus?

An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and as such it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons and no electrons. Thus, it is positively charged. This makes it very unlikely that it will hit the nucleus which is also positively charged and will repel the alpha particle. The only way to get the alpha particle to hit the nucleus is to accelerate it to very high speeds.


What subatomic particle has a relative mass of 1?

The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.

Positively charged particle in an atom?

What are the charged paticles that exist?

There are only two kind of charge particles, the positive and negative charge particle. The positive charge is called proton and the negative charge is called electron. There are also numerous other charge negative, positive particles out there beside the one mention here but they only exist in a fleeting amount of times then disintegrated into pure energy.


What is the scientific principle behind particle accelators?

particle accelerators work by accelerating a charged particle in a magnetic field where the lines of magnetic flux are such that the particle is accelerated into a circular path. This is so that the force produced by such a motion and magnetic field is perpendicular to both the lines of magnetic flux and the velocity of the particle. The stronger the magnetic field and the faster the particle is moving, the more of a force is required (i.e stronger magnetic field) to keep the particle accelerating. Only a charged particle is affected by a magnetic field so only charged particles can be used inside a particle accelerators (i.e protons and electrons.) neutrons have a charge of zero and are not affected by magnetic fields.


An atom is an ion when the what and what are not balanced?

Since an ion is a charged particle it would have to be when the protons and electrons are not balanced(a different number of protons and electrons) This would be the only way to get a positive or negative charge since neutrons have no charge anyway.
