The charge of the proton is positive while the charge of the electron is negative. This keeps the atom together. Unlike most atoms, the hydrogen atoms have only two particles in them.
The only matter in a stable element is at least one of each of the two stable electrically charged subatomic particles, protons and electrons, and except for an atom of the isotope hydrogen-1, at least one neutron, the uncharged stable subatomic particle. The numbers of protons and electrons must be the same. Artificial elements may contain other subatomic particles such as positrons. (The subatomic particles themselves are considered to be composed of quarks, which could be called sub-subatomic particles, but quarks are not usually considered to be matter since they can not exist in isolation for more than very small fractions of a second.)
There are many subatomic particles with no electric charge. An atom is comprised of three main subatomic particles. They are the proton, neutron, and the electron. While the proton carries a positive charge and the electron carries a negative charge, the neutron carries zero electrical charge, and is described as being electrically neutral, hence the term "neutron." There are also other subatomic particles that are electrically neutral. The most obvious would be the antineutron, which is simply the antimatter version of the neutron. But since both of these particles are electrically neutral, they can survive in matter or anitmatter and even transverse both without anihilating. And then there are some particles you may not have heard of. They are the byproducts of fusion and fission reactions, as well as of emissions from radioactive decay in unstable atoms. These particles are known as neutrinos, and there are three types: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. Each type of neutrino is also matched by its antimatter counterpart, and are consequently known as antineutrinos. And still there are more particles that are electrically neutral. To reiterate, a particle that is also its own antiparticle will always be electrically neutral. More examples include the photon, gluon, and Z-boson, as well as their antimatter twins, the antiphoton, antigluon, and anti-Z-boson.
Assuming that you mean the chemical properties, the electrons are what define each element. If you meant subatomic particles, then it doesn't matter; each subatomic particle has unique characteristics.
Electron. In a stable element the number of protons (+ charged subatomic particles) must match the number of electrons (- charged subatomic particles) and neutrons (neutral or uncharged subatomic particles). At least that's how I remember it from my school days.
Both one proton and one neutron each has a relative mass of 1 a.m.u.
I believe you are asking for the names, charges, and location of subatomic particles? Subatomic particles are the small particles that make up an atom and include... * Protons: have an electron charge of +1, found in the nucleus of each atom but can also be stable by itself (as in the case of the hydrogen ion) * Electrons: have a negative charge, surround the nucleus of atoms * Neutrons: have no net charge, also found in the nucleus of atoms
1) what is electron? 2) what is matter? 3) structure of atom?
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. However, each of these subatomic particles is made up of smaller subatomic particles such as quarks.
Neutron is neutral. Proton is positive, Electron is negative.
electric charge, via the electromagnetic force.
Do you mean Charges? There is the Proton which has a positive or + charge. An electron which has a negative or - charge. And a nuetron that has no charge. There are other sub-subatomic particles i don't think they have charges though.... not sure on that one.
Subatomic particles are measured in AMU.1 Proton = 1 AMU (Positive Charge [think pro])1 Neutron = 1 AMU (No Charge [think NEUtral])1 Electron = 1/1836 AMU (Negative Charge)
It is a property, like mass. Not a particle. The electron and proton charges are considered to be the reference charges (-e and +e).

there is an equal number of positive and negative charges which exactly cancel each other out.
