It is called an electron. An electron is one of the subatomic particles in an atom. A proton has a positive charge. A neutron has a negative charge. An electron has a negative charge. The electron floats around the nucleus of the atom in the electron cloud. The nucleus is made up of protons and electrons.

What is the particle of an atom that carries a negative charge?

The electron. There are three particles in an atom , they are:- Proton ; carries a charge of (+), and has an arbitrary mass of '1' Neutron ; carries no charge (o) , and has an arbitrary mass of '1' The above two particles are found the the nucleus of an atom, and are collectively named 'nucleons'. Electron ; carries a charge of (-), and has an arbitrary mass of 1/1860. It is found outside the nucleus of an atom.


The majority of the atom's mass is found in the?

The majority of an atom's mass is found in the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons, which are much smaller in mass, are located in the electron cloud outside the nucleus.


Why must an atom contain equal number of protons and electrons?

Because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, so if you have more electrons than protons, you have a negatively charged atom, and if you have more protons than electrons, you have a positively charged atom. That means if you have the same amount of protons and electrons, the charge would be neutral.


An atom is electrically neutral because?

An atom has no electrical charge because the negative charge of the electrons counteract the positive charge of the protons and the neutrons in the nucleus have a neutral charge. For example, Carbon has 6 electrons(-6 charge) and has 6 protons(+6 charge). Giving it an atomic weight of 12 and a charge of 0. The 6 neutrons do not change this charge, they keep it the same because they are neutral. (:


What can you infer about a high molecular weight protein that cannot be transported into the nucleus?

A high molecular weight protein that cannot enter the nucleus likely lacks a nuclear localization signal (NLS) required for nuclear import. This could indicate that the protein functions outside of the nucleus or interacts with other cellular structures. Alternatively, post-translational modifications may hinder its nuclear translocation.

What is a negatively charged particle that occupies the space in an atom outside the necleus called?

A negatively charged particle that occupies the space in an atom outside the nucleus is called an electron. Electrons are fundamental components of atoms and are involved in chemical bonding and reactions. They have a very small mass compared to protons and neutrons, which reside in the nucleus. The arrangement of electrons around the nucleus determines the atom's chemical properties.

Positively charged particles that are found outside the nucleus of an atom?

The electron is the negatively charged particle found in the orbitals surrounding the nucleus in conventional matter.The muon is a negatively charged particle that can be produced in particle accelerators and can substitute for electrons in the orbitals surrounding the nucleus in muonic matter. In this case the orbitals shrink in diameter so much that the nuclei can occasionally touch at room temperature and pressure (which is not possible with electrons in those orbitals)!
