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?
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
What are the charges for an electron and a proton?
A proton has a positive charge of +1 An electron has a negative charge of -1 An neutron has no charge
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass a proton or an electron?
Proton has a greater mass than the electron.
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?
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
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.
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
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 are the differences between proton and electron?
proton is positivley charged and id inside the nucleus of an atom, while a electron is negativley charged and orbits the nucleus.
What are three subatomic paarticles in an atom?
Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.
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.
What is in between subatomic particles?
Subatomic particles are: neutron, proton, electron.
How big is a proton compared to a electron?
A proton is bigger than electron
How electron is converted into proton?
An electron will not decay into a proton by any means.
