What are the relative charges of proton neutron and electron?
Proton's have a positive charge, neutron'shave a neutral charge, electron's have a negative charge
What is relative in 'relative charge'?
Relative means that it is compared to something. For example, the relative charge of a proton is +1 and it is relative to that proton. The relative charge of an electron is -1 relative to protons. That means it is exactly the same, but opposite. The relative charge of an up quark is +2/3, and that means that the charge of that quark is 2/3 of the charge of the proton. It depends what it is compared to.
Identify where each subatomic particle is located?
There are three basic parts to an atom. These are: the electron, the proton, and the neutron.The proton is a positively charged particle, with a relative mass of one, that is located in the nucleus of the atom, along with the neutron, which has a relative mass of one, but a neutral charge. The electron has a negligible mass, and a charge of negative one, and is located around the outside of the nucleus, whizzing around in electron shells.Proton: Relative mass 1, relative charge +1, located in nucleus in centre of atomNeutron: Relative mass 1, relative charge 0, located in nucleus in centre of atomElectron: Relative mass 1/1836, relative charge -1, located in 'shells' around nucleusYou are correct but they are not all different but if you combine them you can make a ballance with all of them to make them the same charge
What is distinguishing electron?
The only way one electron is distinguishable from another is by the difference of their relative energies. Electron's are distinguishable from other particles through various comparisons like mass, charge, spin, etc.
Why does an atom have no overall electrical charge?
Because an atom has the same number of protons and electrons which both have equal but opposite charges (electron relative charge= -1, proton relative charge= +1, neutron relative charge= 0.) the atom as a whole has no electrical charge as both the electrons and the protons' charges balance each other out.
What are the relative charges of proton neutron and electron?
Proton's have a positive charge, neutron'shave a neutral charge, electron's have a negative charge
When atoms gains an electron it has a what kind of charge?
Negative = ] Protons have a (relative) charge of +1 Electrons have a (relative) charge of -1
What are the charges and relative masses of the main subatomic particles?
electron = relative charge = 1- relative mass = 1/1840 proton = relative charge = 1+ relative mass = 1 neutron = relative charge = 0 relative mass = 1

Location and charge of electron?
it is not possible to know the location of an electron but only the regionCharge= -1.60 x 10-19 C; Relative Charge=0
Does a proton have a bigger charge than an electron?
No, the absolute charge of proton is equal to the absolute charge of electrons. however, their relative charge is opposite in sign.
What is the negative charge on electrons?
The electrical charge of an electron is -1.
What are Atoms 3 particles?
Proton - Relative Atomic Mass of 1, charge of 1. Neutron - Relative atomic mass of 1, charge of 0. Electron - Negligible mass (0), charge of -1.

What are the charges and relative masses of the three subatomic particles that are of most interest to chemists?
Proton: electrical charge +1, mass = 1.672621637(83)×10−27 kg, relative mass = 1.00727646677 amuNeutron: neutral, mass = 1.67492729(28)×10−27 kg, relative mass = 1.0086649156 amuElectron: electrical charge -1, mass 9.10938215(45)×10−31 kg, relative mass 5.4857990943×10−4 amu
Describe electrical charges particles of the atom?
Well central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charge electrons.
What causes an atom to be charged?
When it gains or loses electrons due to a chemical reaction and becomes and ion (ionic bonding). Electrons have a relative charge of -1 and they surround the nucleus which is made up of protons (relative charge +1) and neutrons (relative charge 0). In an atom there are the same number of protons as there are of neutrons so an atom's relative charge is balanced out as 0 but if they lose an electron it means there are more positive charges wheras gaining an electron gives an overall charge of -1 due to the extra negative charge. Electrons can also be knocked out of orbit round the nucleus by radiation.
