A proton is positive and an electron is negative

Protons are approximately 1,835 times the mass of the electron.

Protons are in the nucleus.

Electrons are in the 'shells'.

What charge would an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?

The ion would have a positive charge equal to the difference between the number of protons and electrons. For example, if there are 10 protons and 8 electrons, the ion would be a 2+ charged ion.


How many protons are in an ion with 10 electrons and a -1 charge?

There are 11 protons in an ion with 10 electrons and a -1 charge. The charge of an ion is defined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, since the ion has a -1 charge, it means there is one more electron than the number of protons.


How many protons and electrons does mercury have?

Mercury (Hg) can ONLY have 80 protons, or else it cannot be mercury. The difference between its mass number (201) and 80 is 121, which is the number of neutrons. These can vary and are called isotopes. The number of protons can always only be 80 for mercury, tho.


What is the atoms charge if there are more protons than electrons in the atom?

positive!(: more protons = positive more electrons = negative say an atom has 2 more protons than electrons, it has a charge of 2+ if it had 3 more electrons than protons, it has a charge of 3- if electrons are taken away, what will the charge be? answer: positive, because there are less electrons same works vice versa. hope i helped! source: 8th grade science class(:


Do alpha particles and helium atoms have same electrons?

No. The difference between them is that helium atoms have electrons, and alpha particles don't.

Whats the difference between electrons and protons?

Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.


How do you write the charge of an ion?

find the difference between the number of electrons and protons, and then find whether protons(+) or electrons(-) are more abundant. if the difference was 2, for example, and there were (2) more protons than electrons, the charge would be written as: chemical symbol 2+


Charge of ion with 34 protons and 36 electrons?

The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, the ion has 34 protons and 36 electrons, resulting in a net charge of 2- since there are 2 more electrons than protons.


What is the definition of atomic charges?

The difference between the positive charges (protons) and the negative charges (electrons).


What would the charge be with 13 protons 14 neutrons 10 electrons?

The charge of an atom is determined by the difference between its protons and electrons. In this case, the atom would have a +3 charge since it has 13 protons and 10 electrons, leading to an excess of positive charge.


What charge would an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?

The ion would have a positive charge equal to the difference between the number of protons and electrons. For example, if there are 10 protons and 8 electrons, the ion would be a 2+ charged ion.


What is 1 smilarity and 1 difference between charge of a proton and electron?

Protons and electrons are both found in an atom. The atomic number on an element tells you the amount of electrons and protons, ex. Hydrogen: Atomic number = 1 Protons: 1 and Electrons: 1. Protons are positively charged molecules while electrons are negatively charged.

What is the difference between electrons and protons?

Electrons are negatively charged particles found in the electron cloud of an atom, while protons are positively charged particles located in the nucleus. Protons are about 1,836 times more massive than electrons.

What is the difference between a valence electron and a shielding electron?

Valence electrons are electrons on the outermost shell/orbitals. Sheilding electrons are inner electrons that block valence electrons from protons causing less attraction.


What is the difference between protons neutrons and electrons can I please have a simple answer?

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but the proton is electrically charged and the neutron isn't. Electrons have a much much lower mass and an opposite electrical charge to that of the proton. That's about as simple as I can get it. It's by no means the only difference between them.
