Which charge contributes to the proton electron and neutrion?

The three principal particles of an atom are the proton, electron and neutron. The proton and electron have +1 and -1 charges respectively. The neutron does not have a charge.


Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?

No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.


Are the charges of an electron cancelled by the charges of a proton?

Yes. The magnitude of electrical charge on a proton is the same as the magnitude of electrical charge on an electron. The charge on a proton is positive and the charge on an electron is neutral, so that a pair containing one of each of them has no net electrical charge.
