We don't know ...
but the theory goes that the 3 quarks that make up a proton set the values.
The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons. Neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge so the nucleus is positively charged. Around the nucleus there are orbiting electrons which are negatively charged. The positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge of the atom neutral
Protons, which have positive charge, attract electrons, which have negative charge. Also, quarks with positive charge attract quarks with negative charge. (Actually, it is this electric charge which defines the properties of the particle they make up. A proton has more quarks with positive charges than with negative charges, for example.)
Here are some particles that make up an atom: Protons-Positive charge particles Electrons-negative charged particles Neutrons- no charge at all :))
it depends on what kind of charge it is if its a positive charge then protons are surrounding it if it is a negative charge then electrons are surrounding it does that make sense?
by simply placing a charge in a space.
Protons and electrons are linked numerically; in any atom the number of protons and electrons is the same eg in carbon there are six of each. They have equal and opposite electric charges in an atom. The negative charge of each electron exactly balances the positive charge of each proton.
Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons; protons and neutrons are formed from quarks and gluons. A proton has an electric charge of +1; or 1,602176565(35)×10−19 Coulombs.
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
Neutrons were discovered last, probably due to the lack of an electric charge. An electric charge would make the neutron more obvious for a variety of experiments.
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
Protons
Protons make up the identity of the element and give it its unique properties. Protons have a positive charge. Neutrons give an atom additional mass, and the number of neutrons in an atom make it an isotope of an element. Neutrons have no charge.
The proton make up the nucleus, along with the neutrons, and the electrons insanely fly all around the nucleus...... The protons have a positive charge, while the electrons have a negative charge..... Neutrons have no charge....
Electrons (Negative charge), Neutrons (Neutral charge), and Protons (Positive charge)
Atoms are neutral as long as they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge.
