Is a proton or a neutron the opposite of an electron?

Protons and electrons have opposite charges. Neutrons, as the name implies, are neutral.


Does protons have a positive or a negative charge?

protons are positive charges opposite of neutrons


What is the opposites of an isotope?

The opposite of an isotope would be a pure element that does not contain any variations in the number of neutrons in its nucleus. This means that all atoms of that element have the same number of protons and neutrons.


Is true or false electron and neutron have opposite charge?

False, electrons are negatively charged whereas neutrons have no charge. An electron is of opposite charge to a proton which has a positive charge.


Do electron and neutrons have opposite charges?

No. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges (electrons negative, protons positive). Neutrons are neutral i.e. they have no charge.Electrons are negatively charged particles, while neutrons are electrically neutral. The charge of an electron is 1.6*10-19 C. This is the fundamental charge in the universe and you cannot have any charge less than this (with the exception of the compositions of quarks). On the other hand, neutrons don't have any charge; they just have mass.


Which of the universal forces act only on protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

The strong nuclear force acts only on neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom. The opposite would be a weak nuclear force.


Protons have about the same mass as neutrons but are opposite in sign?

Both protons and neutrons are part of the nucleus of an atom, that is more to do with the mass side of things, as for them having an oppoite sign, they don't Neutron is neutrol or 0 where as proton is + or 1, the opposite of a proton is a electron, or in some advanced cases the anti proton , not to be confused with the elctron.


Who knew that atoms were neutral?

It would make sense because the opposite charges of equal numbers of protons and neutrons balence out together


Which two atomic particles have equal but opposite charge?

Protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge.


Why don't neutrons attract electrons?

Neutrons don't interact via the electromagnetic force while electrons do. Remember than neutrons are electrically neutral while electrons have an electric charge (that is negative.) In order for two electrically charged particles to attract, they will need to have a net charge of zero; that is, they must be opposite charges.


Are elections bigger or smaller then neutrons and protons?

Elections are much smaller than neutrons and protons. Neutrons and protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. The electron is about 1/1836 times smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton.


What is oxygen's number of protons electrons and charge?

The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. O-17 isotope has 9 neutrons (17 - 8 = 9)
