How may electrons equal one proton?

In charge, spin, and strangeness; they are exactly equal. In mass, it would take about 1836 electrons to equal a proton.


How many electrons does it take to equal the mass of 1 proton?

It would take about 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton. This is because the mass of an electron is much smaller than that of a proton.


How many electrons equal the mass of one Proton?

1836 electrons equal the mass of 1 proton. A proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu, a neutron 1.0087 amu, and an electron 5.486 x 10-4. So, it would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton.


How many electrons does it take to equal to the mass of one proton?

electrons are a 2000th of the mass of a proton/neutron. Because of this very low mass, electrons dont affect the mass number of elements on the periodic table


What is the relationship between the number of proton and the number of electrons in an atom?

equal


How much electrons equal to one protons?

In the quantity of the electrical charge, the electron and the proton contain equal but opposite charges. In terms of mass, the proton is about equal in mass to 1876 electrons.


What do 4 proton and 4 electrons equal to?

A 0 charge. A 0 charge.


How many electrons in one proton?

Electrons do not fit inside a proton or neutron. Electrons move around the nucleus where the protons and electrons are, and the mount of electrons depends on the atom. For a neutral atom the number of electrons = the number of protons. If that does not hold true the atom will receive a (+) or (-) charge. It will be a (+) if it is missing one electron and a (-) if it has an extra electron. To the guy who wrote that, the question was asking (in size) how many electrons could fit inside a proton relative to its size. The answer is about 1/1836 electrons could fit inside a proton.


What is the number of electrons in an atom that is neutral atom with 30 protons and 34 nuetrons?

the no of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the total no of proton so no of electron is equal to 30.


How many electrons in an element with one proton?

The number of PROTONs and the number of ELECTRONs are always equal in a neutral atom. Therefore an element with one PROTON will have one ELECTRON and that element will be called Hydrogen.
