electrons are on the outside and don't count as part of the Atomic Mass. Protons do count as part of the mass and are inside the atom.

Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?

Yes, an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom is a proton attracting an electron. This attraction occurs due to the opposite charges of the proton (positive) and the electron (negative), leading to the electrostatic force of attraction between them.


Explain two differences and one similarity between protons and electrons?

An electron has 1/1836 the mass of a proton. Also, the chemical functionality of the particles is much different. The proton, located in the nucleus, generally is not displaced in the course of a chemical reaction and is therefor used to identify the element. The atomic number is the number of protons in an element. The electron, on the other hand, is the primary vehicle by which chemical reactions occur, being frequently exchanged between atoms. The two species have equal, but opposite charges, the electron carrying -1e, the proton carrying +1e. The most important similarity is the equal magnitude of their charges. This is the foundation of neutrality of an atom. Any imbalance in proton and electron count leads to electric charges on the atom.


How to get a ratio?

calculate the ratio between proton&electron


What is the ratio r proton /r electron of the radii of their circular paths?

The ratio between radius of proton to the radius of electron is just 0.3


What is the difference between an electron and proton and neutrons?

A proton is positively charged; a neutron has no charge and an electron is negatively charged, that is why it is attracted to the atom, which consists of protons.


What is the relationship between the charges of a proton and an electron?

Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge. The relationship between the charges of a proton and an electron is that they are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

A proton is a subatomic particle carrying a charge equal to but opposite that of an electron true or false?

True. But please note that there are other differences between the proton and the electron as well - for example, the proton has a larger mass, and the proton is made up of smaller particles, while the electron - as far as we know - is not.
