An atom with 22 electrons 23 protons and 24 neutrons will have a charge of?

The atom will have a charge of +1, since it has 23 protons and 22 electrons. The number of electrons is one less than the number of protons, resulting in a net positive charge.


What differentiates each subatomic particle?

The mass and the charge. Protons are positively charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Neutrons have no charge. Protons and neutrons have similar mass (about 1 amu). The mass of electron is about 1822 times less than that of protons / neutrons.


What parts of an atom are equal to each other?

It depends on what you mean by what parts are equal. Protons and electrons both have the same magnitude of charge with opposite signs and electrons are much less massive than protons. Protons and neutrons are approximately equal in mass but protons have a charge of +e Coulombs while neutrons have a charge of 0. Atoms can often exist with unequal numbers of protons and electrons. Such atoms are called ions and have a negative charge if they have more electrons than protons and positive charge if they have more protons than electrons.


What is the total charge if you have 14 protons 14 neutrons and 12 electrons?

If the atom is stable and neutral, it will have 14 electrons. If it has a positive charge it will have less electrons, and if it has a negative charge it will have more electrons.


How does protons nuetrons and electrons differ?

All have spin one-half. Protons have a charge of positive one; electrons, negative one; neutrons, neutral. Protons and neutrons have about the same mass; electrons are much less massive. Protons and neutrons have an internal structure -- ie, they are composed of quarks -- while electrons are just themselves. The first two are "hadrons" and the latter is a "lepton."


Does a negative ion have more protons or electrons?

Protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if an atom is positively charged, it could have any amount of protons or neutrons, one does not need to be more than the other. However we can say it will definitely have more protons than electrons.


If the number of protons in the nucleus is less than the number of neutrons in the neuleus what is the ion formed?

Actually, neutrons (because they have a neutral charge) are not involved in making an atom or molecule an ion -- only protons and electrons do that. So, the number of protons compared to the number of neutrons doesn't matter.


How many protons electrons neutrons does Cobalt 60 have?

Cobalt-60 has 27 protons, (Cobalt has an atomic number of 27) 33 neutrons (mass number less atomic number) 27 electrons in the neutral atom (balancing the charge of the 27 protons)


If the nucleus had seventeen protons and nineteen neutrons how many electrons would the atom have?

The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, which is 17 in this case. This ensures that the atom is electrically neutral, as the positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons.


Do electron and neutrons have opposite charges?

No. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges (electrons negative, protons positive). Neutrons are neutral i.e. they have no charge.Electrons are negatively charged particles, while neutrons are electrically neutral. The charge of an electron is 1.6*10-19 C. This is the fundamental charge in the universe and you cannot have any charge less than this (with the exception of the compositions of quarks). On the other hand, neutrons don't have any charge; they just have mass.


Have about 1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons?

Electrons have ~1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons


What particle control the 'weight' of an atom?

The weight of an atom is primarily controlled by the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same weight, while electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.
