The charge from the protons and electrons. If an atom loses an electron, it will have a net positive charge. If an atom gains an extra electron, it will have a net negative charge.
Protons and electrons share the property of electric charge. Protons are arbitrarily named "positive" charge, while electrons are negative. Their opposite but equal electrical charges cause them to attract each other, similar to gravity but about one billion billions (10^20) more powerfully.
A proton has a positive charge while an electron has a negative charge. This negative charge equals the positive charge of the proton. But in all other ways electrons do not equals protons. For example: Protons are 1800 times heavier. And protons are in the core of atoms while electrons are circling the core.
The Proton has a Positive charge and is located in the nucleus.The Neutron is Neutral (no charge) and is also in the nucleus.ANDThe Electron has a Negative charge and, they orbit around the nucleus.
Protons and neutrons don't attract electromagnetically. Because protons have a positive charge while on the other hand electron has negative charge.
A coulomb is bigger. Please also note that a coulomb is defined as a POSITIVE charge, while an electron has a NEGATIVE charge. Anyway, the magnitude of a coulomb is much bigger than that of an electron.
The electrical charge of an electron is -1.
The electron is responsible for the negative charge while the proton in responsible for the positive charge.
The proton carries a positive charge, while the electron carries a negative charge. The neutron which some physicists believe is a proton and electron smushed together, has no charge.
The question is incorrect. (Either that, or I don't know what "specific charge" means.) The alpha particle has a charge of +2, while the proton is +1 and the electron is -1.If you are talking about charge to mass ratio, however, it is true that the alpha particle has a mass of about 4 amu, while the proton is 1 amu, and the electron is 1/1836 amu. This makes the charge to mass ratio of the alpha particle to only be about 0.25, while the proton is 1.0 and the electron is -1836.
What will be the charge if you scrape electrons from your feet while scuffing across the rug?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.

No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
electrons (e-) have a 1- charge, while protons have a 1+ charge and neutrons have a 0 charge.
