How do electrons differ from both protons and nuetrons?

Electrons are very tiny compared to protons and neutrons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.


How do particles of in atoms differ in electric charge?

Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons possess no charge.


How do the particles of an atom differ in electric charge?

some is positive and some are negative and some are neutral and thats how there differ


How do the different subatomic particles differ?

Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, while electrons are much lighter.


How do protons neutron and electrons differ?

Electrons hold a negative charge while neutrons are neutral and protons are positive. Electrons are leptons having no internal structure (leptons are generally believed to be point particles, having zero volume), protons and neutrons are baryons composed of three quarks (leptons) with a measurable volume.


Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?

Isotopes differ by the number of protons.


Do Protons have the same magnitude of charge as electrons but are opposite in sign?

No. Protons are positive and neutrons are neutral. Protons have exactly the opposite charge as that of electrons, even though they differ greatly in mass. Proton is 1826 times heavier than electron.


Electrons and protons differ in their?

Electrons are negatively charged particles found in the outer shells of an atom. Protons, on the other hand, are positively charged particles located in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are much smaller and lighter than protons.


How does protons nuetrons and electrons differ?

All have spin one-half. Protons have a charge of positive one; electrons, negative one; neutrons, neutral. Protons and neutrons have about the same mass; electrons are much less massive. Protons and neutrons have an internal structure -- ie, they are composed of quarks -- while electrons are just themselves. The first two are "hadrons" and the latter is a "lepton."


What type of charge do an isotope of nitrogen have?

An isotope of nitrogen can have a neutral charge if it has the same number of protons and electrons. However, isotopes can also be ions if they have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge.


Does the sum of the protons in an atom equal the sum of the electrons?

Protons minus neutrons doesn't mean anything in chemistry. Protons plus neutrons gives the mass number. Protons minus electrons gives you the charge of an atom(ion). The number of protons are equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom and the proton number is equivalent to the atomic number.


How do protons and electric differ in their electric charge?

They are opposite.
