Relative means that it is compared to something. For example, the relative charge of a proton is +1 and it is relative to that proton. The relative charge of an electron is -1 relative to protons. That means it is exactly the same, but opposite. The relative charge of an up quark is +2/3, and that means that the charge of that quark is 2/3 of the charge of the proton. It depends what it is compared to.

What is Relative charges?

Relative charges refer to the charges of different particles relative to each other. For example, in an atom, protons have a relative charge of +1, electrons have a relative charge of -1, and neutrons have no relative charge (neutral). This allows us to understand how particles interact with each other based on their relative charges.

Distinguish between the subatomic particles in terms of relative charge and mass?

Protons have a positive charge and a mass of about 1 atomic mass unit (u). Neutrons have no charge (neutral) and a similar mass to protons. Electrons have a negative charge and a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons.


Does an alpha particle have a relative mass of 1 amu and no charge?

No, an alpha particle has a mass of 4 amu and a charge of +2. It is a helium nucleus. The neutron has a mass of 1 amu and no charge.


Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?

As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
