An electron has a mass of 1/1840 of an Atomic Mass unit, carries a charge of -1 and is found in one of a series of energy levels outside the nucleus of an atom. A neutron has a mass of 1 a.m.u., carries no charge and is found in the nucleus of atoms.

What is the Difference between neutron and gamma rays?
difference between gamma rays and neutron?
What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?
There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).
How does an electron differ from a neutron?
An electron has a negative charge to it, whilst a neutron has a neutral charge to it.
Are electrons equal to newtrons?
No, number of electron is not equal to the number of neutron ,as we can predict it from the difference of their masses only,
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
What is the difference between the three subatomic particles?
The main differences are proton and neutron are in the nucleus, electrons are outside of the nucleus. The weight of an electron is between a hundred and a thousand times less of that of a proton and neutron and the charge on a proton is positive, neutron is neutral and electron is negative
What is the difference between an electron and proton and neutrons?
A proton is positively charged; a neutron has no charge and an electron is negatively charged, that is why it is attracted to the atom, which consists of protons.
What is the Difference between neutron and gamma rays?
difference between gamma rays and neutron?
What is the difference between a proton an electron and a neutron and where can they be found?
a proton is a positively charged particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom, a neutron is a particle that has no charge and is also found in the nucleus of an atom, an electron is a negatively charged atom that is constantly circling the nucleus of an atom.
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
What is the difference between a neutron a proton and a electron?
A nuetron has no charge and resides in the nucleus of an atom along with protons that have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge and are in the electron shells around the nucleus.
Can annihilation of matter occur between a positron and neutron?
No, a positron cannot react with a neutron in any kind of annihilation reaction. An electron and a positron can, and the same with a neutron and an anti-neutron, but it does not occur between a positron and a neutron.
What is the difference between neutron and a electorns?
The difference between neutron are neutral, and electrons have a negative change too them. Neutron is a neutral particle that exists in the nucleus of an atom. The year when the neutron was founded was 1932.
What is in between subatomic particles?
Subatomic particles are: neutron, proton, electron.
What is the difference between subatomic particles and elementary particles?
Subatomic particles are proton, neutron, electron; these particle are some examples of the large group of elementary particles.
What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?
There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).
Is it possible for an atom to have no neutrons?
A hydrogen atom is only a proton and an electron. Beyond that the neutron seems to keep the nucleus together and stable. Maybe a better question is, "What is the difference between a hydrogen atom without an electron and a proton?"
