The charge of an electron is -1, and has a smaller mass of a proton. (For you Castle Learning users) :]
negative charge
An electron carries one fundamental unit of negative charge*, measured to be about 1.609 x 10-19 Coulombs.
(* The negative designation is a convention, established in the earliest experiments with electricity long before the existence of the electron was known.)
A proton has a +1 charge.
A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.
What else can I help you with?
Electrons have what type of a charge?
All electrons have an equal negative charge (-1 standard electron charge), which is opposite to the standard proton charge (+1).
What type of charge do electrons carry?
Electrons carry a negative electrical charge. A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.
What charge is electrons?
Electrons charge is a negative
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
EXPLAIN why it is not possible to determine the type of atom by knowing the charge of the atom?
Knowing the charge of an atom only provides information on the number of electrons it has gained or lost. Different types of atoms can have the same charge if they have gained or lost electrons in the same proportion. Therefore, the charge alone is not sufficient to determine the type of atom.
What type of charge do the electrons have?
Electrons have a negative charge.
Electrons have what type of a charge?
All electrons have an equal negative charge (-1 standard electron charge), which is opposite to the standard proton charge (+1).
What type of charge do electrons carry?
Electrons carry a negative electrical charge. A neutron does not have a charge, it is neutral.
Why do they have this type of charge?
because they lose electrons
What part of the atom moves around the nucleus what type of charge do they have?
Electrons move around the nucleus of an atom. Electrons have a negative charge.
What type of charge do atoms have that gain electrons?
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
What charge is electrons?
Electrons charge is a negative
Do a slab of n type material carry a net negative charge?
No. The "n" and "p" does not refer to the negative or positive charge, but to the fact that there are atoms that can easily "donate" electrons (n-type), or atoms that can easily "accept" electrons (p-type).
What three types of charges can electrons have?
"Electrons" can have only one type of charge ... a so-called 'negative' charge. If it has anything else, it's no electron.
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.

What does each type of atom in a molecule have?
Each type of atom in a molecule has a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons carry a negative charge. The arrangement and interaction of these components determine the chemical properties of the molecule.
