That gives you the net charge of the atom. If there is the same amount of protons and electrons, the net charge is zero, and the atom is said to be neutral.

What property's do protons and electrons have that neutrons don't?

Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.


What is a property of protons and electrons?

Protons have a positive charge and they have mass. Electrons have a negative charge and have almost no mas (it is about 1/2000th that of a proton).


What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?

Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.


Protons and electrons have this?

Protons and electrons have mass and charge.


What charge is any atom?

the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions


What are protons neutrons and electrons hint charge?

Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge


What is the Definition of neutrons protons and electrons?

Neutrons: no electrical charge Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge


Whats the difference between electrons and protons?

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


What are the charges of Protons Neutronsand Electrons?

Protons have + charge and electrons have - charge.Neutrons does not contain any charge.


What do protons and electrons have that neutrons do not?

Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.


This element has 15 protons and 15 electrons in its neutral atom?

Protons are particles with a positive charge, and in order for your atom to be neutral the positive charge must be cancelled out by adding negative charges of the same value. Electrons are negatively charged. So adding 15 electrons to 15 protons would result in a neutral atom. Also since your atom contains 15 protons it must be Phosphorus, element number 15.


How many electrons do protons have?

There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
