Photons have no charge, no rest mass and travel at the speed of light throuh a vacuum. Electrons have a charge of -1, have rest mass and are part of atoms.

What is the difference between protons neutrons and electrons can I please have a simple answer?
Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but the proton is electrically charged and the neutron isn't. Electrons have a much much lower mass and an opposite electrical charge to that of the proton. That's about as simple as I can get it. It's by no means the only difference between them.
What is the differences between a w boson and a virtual photon?
W-bosons are charged and the photons are uncharged, W-bosons have a non zero rest mass and photons hsve zero rest mass. Also the W-boson is the "exchange particle" in interactions involving the weak nuclear force, but photons are the exchange particle of the electromagentic force.
What subatomic particles do not respond?
Inside an atomic nucleus, there are protons and neutrons. Due to the nature of how they must interact, they are constantly changing back and forth between each other. Electrons, however, which are found outside of the nucleus, do not change.
What is the process by which the core electrons partially block the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons?
chemical deviation
Which electrons are shared in molecules?
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
What is the Difference between electrons and photons?
Photons have no charge, no rest mass and travel at the speed of light throuh a vacuum. Electrons have a charge of -1, have rest mass and are part of atoms.
Electrons can only absorb photons that have energy equal to what?
difference in energy between two levels
What is the difference between light and electricity?
They are both energy but Electricty is made up of Electrons and Light is made up Photons.
What happens when the electrons relax?
As excited electrons drop back to lower energy levels in the atom, photons having the energy of the difference between the two electron energy levels are emitted from the atom.
Do photons conduct electricity?
No. Electricity is the movement of electrons, and photons have no electrons to move. Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but that's a different concept.
What is the difference between regular electrons and valence electrons?
electrons*
How can you can increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
Electrons can absorb photons and gain energy, and they can emit photons and lose energy.
What is the difference between electron radiotherapy versus photon radiotherapy for breast cancer?
Electrons are usually used depending on the depth of the breast tissues, and the location of the tumour. Electrons do not go as deep into the skin as photons do. If your tumour is close to the surface electrons may be used depending on the doctor that is treating you.
How do electrons gain in energy in photosystem 1?
they absorb photons from sunlight
Difference between x ray diffraction and neutron diffraction?
X-ray diffraction is based on photons which are massless particles; neutron diffraction is based neutrons which possess mass and about 1000 heavier than electrons.
Where do electrons get their energy in photosystem I?
From energy in photons
Are electrons moving through space called light?
Electrons are very small, and have very small mass, but they are not visible light (photons).
