Mass of a body is a positive quantity. The gravitational force between two masses is always attractive. Electric charge can be positive or negative or zero.
Neutrons have no charge, but they do have mass.
The neutron has no charge, therefore the charge to mass ratio for the neutron is zero.
Mass and charge are not connected. Negative charge is the charge carried by an electron.
alpha: mass 4, charge +2beta: mass ~1/1800, charge -1gamma: mass 0, charge 0
Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.
The electron has a charge of -1; but the electron has a mass.
The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.
In a nuclear reaction involving a polonium nucleus, the total charge and total mass number of the products must equal the charge and mass number of the polonium nucleus due to the conservation laws. The charge of the products will match the original charge, and the mass number of the products will be equal to the mass number of the polonium nucleus before the reaction. This ensures that both charge and mass are conserved in the process.
Yes, the neutron has a negative charge and a mass that is smaller than the mass of a proton.
It is a simple ratio charge/mass or e/m .
Proton rest-mass . . . 1.67 x 10-27 kg Proton charge . . . . . +1 elementary charge (1.60 x 10-19 coul)
A particle that has a mass of 1 and a charge of 1 plus is a proton.
