The proton carries a positive charge, while the electron carries a negative charge. The neutron which some physicists believe is a proton and electron smushed together, has no charge.

Which subatomic particle has a charge of 1 and a mass of 1 AMU?

Both one proton and one neutron each has a relative mass of 1 a.m.u.


How can you figure out how many of each subatomic particle is in a atom has?

The subatomic particle that is most responsible for how an atom reacts with other atoms is?

Assuming that you mean the chemical properties, the electrons are what define each element. If you meant subatomic particles, then it doesn't matter; each subatomic particle has unique characteristics.


What is the charge of each of the subatomic particles in hydrogen?

The charge of the proton is positive while the charge of the electron is negative. This keeps the atom together. Unlike most atoms, the hydrogen atoms have only two particles in them.


What subatomic particles in an atom has no charge?

There are many subatomic particles with no electric charge. An atom is comprised of three main subatomic particles. They are the proton, neutron, and the electron. While the proton carries a positive charge and the electron carries a negative charge, the neutron carries zero electrical charge, and is described as being electrically neutral, hence the term "neutron." There are also other subatomic particles that are electrically neutral. The most obvious would be the antineutron, which is simply the antimatter version of the neutron. But since both of these particles are electrically neutral, they can survive in matter or anitmatter and even transverse both without anihilating. And then there are some particles you may not have heard of. They are the byproducts of fusion and fission reactions, as well as of emissions from radioactive decay in unstable atoms. These particles are known as neutrinos, and there are three types: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. Each type of neutrino is also matched by its antimatter counterpart, and are consequently known as antineutrinos. And still there are more particles that are electrically neutral. To reiterate, a particle that is also its own antiparticle will always be electrically neutral. More examples include the photon, gluon, and Z-boson, as well as their antimatter twins, the antiphoton, antigluon, and anti-Z-boson.

Is electrical charge a subatomic particle?

It is a property, like mass. Not a particle. The electron and proton charges are considered to be the reference charges (-e and +e).

What is the electric charge of each type of subatomic particle?

There are many subatomic partials but the three basic ones are: the electron, the neutron, and the proton. The electron has a negative (-) charge. the proton has a positive (+) charge. and, The neutron doesn't have a charge (but has more mass). if you where talking about quarks, they are a bit more complex (and theoretical) and I don't rely know...

What is the subatomic particle with a no electrical charge?

I think you might be referring to the Neutrinos in the Lepton section of the Subatomic Particle Table, each non Neutrino in the Lepton section has a Neutrino equivalent, for example an Electron and a Electron Neutrino, or the Muon and the Muon Neutrino. Unless you were referring to the Gauge Bosons which are forces used to connect Quarks and Leptons together, all the forces have a 0 charge. This should answer the Question.
