The proton has three parts, two up quarks and one down quark and the gluons which these three quarks exchange, which is how the strong (nuclear) force works to keep them from getting out.

The following is actually a partial attempt to answer "What are the components of a protein?"

The key components are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and arranged as strands of amino acids. Some amino acids also contain sulfur.

Electrons are point-particles, meaning they have no discernible size. They have an intrinsic spin of 1/2. Additionally, they have an electric charge of -1. Their mass is over 1800 times smaller than a proton's mass.

They have mass, electrical charge (positive), use the strong nuclear force to bond with neutrons to form atomic nucleui, they have energy, have spin and are composed of quarks.

The characteristics of a neutron are an atom, the nucleus and an Atomic Mass unit. Protons and neutrons make up the chemical properties of a neutron.

Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons does not have any charge. Neutron is the sub atomic particle with the highest weight.

What is a property of a neutron?

A neutron has a zero electric charge and has a mass slightly greater than that of a proton. A proton and an electron can be fused to create a neutron, and a neutron decays into a proton and an electron (and a bit of something else). More details about the neutron can be had by using the link to the Wikipedia article on this "building block" of the atom.


What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?

All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation. Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.


Are all pulsars neutron stars?

All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)


What are some characteristics of ANS?

Some characteristics of a atom are they take on part of chemical reactions independently. Atom can be divided into sub-atomic particles and the main particles of a atom are the electron, proton and neutron.

What features do electrons protons and neutrons have?

The two important characteristics of a neutron are its mass and charge. These are described below. 1) Mass of neutron. The mass of a neutron is equal to mass of a proton. The relative mass of neutron in 1 u. the absolute mass of a neutron is 1.6 * 10^-24 gram. 2) Charge of neutron. Neutron has no charge. It is electrically neutral. The two important characteristics of a Proton are its mass and charge. These are described below. 1) Mass of proton. The Proton is actually a hydrogen atom which has lost its electron. Since mass of an electron is very small, we can say that mass of proton is equal to mass of a hydrogen atom. The relative mass of neutron in 1 u. the absolute mass of a neutron is 1.6 * 10^-24 gram. 2) Charge of proton. The charge of a proton is equal and opposite to the charge of an electron. So absolute charge of a proton is 1.6*10^-19 coulomb.


The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?

The neutron.


Why neutron is call neutron?

The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix


Is a neutron positive charged?

No. A neutron carries no charge.


What is a name of an atom that has a positive or negative neutron?

There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.


What did James chadwick do?

James chadwick was the discoverer of neutron. He gave the famous neutron reaction.


What kind of charge does a neutron have?

A neutron does not have a charge -- its neutral
