Does electron has lesser amount of charge than proton?
No, their charge is equal to each other.
Who particles are unstable in electron and proton?
The value of quarkes partical in protonis less than the value of quarkes particalin electron in this condition proton is share of energy in form of partical to nutron and electron beacose proton made from two up and one down quarkes particals fully not shears of energy to each other in proton . but quarkes particals are shear of energy to each other in side of electron beacose three up same quarkes particals are in side of electron.
What is the charge of an atom with one proton one neutron and one electron combined?
There is zero net charge as the proton (+ve) and electron (-ve) cancel each other out and the neutron is neutral.
What happens when two electrons get closer together?
The electron in each atom starts to notice the proton of the other atom. As a result, it becomes attracted not only to its own proton, but to the proton of the other atom as well. ... And electrons tend to repel each other.
How was the first hydrogen atom formed?
A proton & an electron circled each other about 14.7 billion years ago.
Which is not an example of an electrostatic force that exists within the atom?
A neutron and an electron being attracted to each other A neutron and a proton being attracted to each other
Do protons and electrons have the same amount of electrical charge and have the same mass?
Each proton has a positive charge. Each electron has a negative charge. The 'size' of the charge on every proton and every electron is the same. Every proton has the mass of about 1,850 electrons.
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.
Why neutron has neutral charge?
Because it's basically made of a proton and an electron, and those two charges cancel each other out.
What effect do an an electron and a proton have on each other?
Protons and electrons interact by electric force.F=(k*q1*q2)/r^2 , k is a constant, r is the distance between the two and q1,q2 are the two charges, because the proton is positive and the electron negative the force has a negative value meaning they attract each other.
Why does opposite poles on a magnet attract each other?
This is because there's proton and electron. When a magnet is created, two electrically charged portions are created. In which electron is present in one side and proton is present in the other side. Therefore, when you put two like poles together they repel each other just like trying to when you want to fuse two proton together or fuse two electron together whereas they attract each other when you put the unlike pole together because proton attract electron. Neutron is believed to be with the proton in the magnet. :) Hope this helpAnother AnswerThe original answer is incorrect as it is describing the attraction and repulsion between ELECTRIC charges, NOT magnetic poles! The simple answer is that there is no easily-explainable reason because, to understand it, we need to know about quantum mechanics.
How many particles in a hydrogen atom?
The most common isotope of hydrogen has one proton, and one electron.The most common isotope of hydrogen has one proton, and one electron.The most common isotope of hydrogen has one proton, and one electron.The most common isotope of hydrogen has one proton, and one electron.
