Yes. Is is made up of one two quarks (charge 2/3 each), and one down quarks (charge -1/3), for a total charge of one.

Is the charge of a proton due to periodic pulsation of the surface of the proton?

No. The charge of a proton (or an anti-proton) comes from the three quarks within it, quarks whose charge add up to plus one (or, in the case of anti-proton, minus one). Which leads to the obvious question: where does the charge of the QUARKS come from? The answer is simple, but frustrating: in our Universe, charge just IS. Quarks and leptons have a quality we refer to as "charge," a quality that causes a force to exist between any two particles that both have charge. We have no further understanding beyond that: charge just exists. Note, however, that, in any Universe that did not have charge, there would be no life noting that charge did not exist in that Universe -- which would make such a Universe a very un-interesting place.


How does a proton get its positive electric charge?

A proton has a positive electronic charge because it contains two up quarks (+2/3 charge each) and one down quark (-1/3 charge).+2/3 + +2/3 - -1/3 = +3/3 charge


What are the particles in a proton called?

They are Quarks. A Proton Consits of 3 Quarks, comprising of 2 "Up" Quarks and 1 "Down" Quark. "Up" Quarks have a charge of 2/3, and "Down" Quarks have a charge of -1/3, hence the charge on a proton on +1. Similarly a Neutron Consists on 3 Quarks, 1 "Up" and 2 "Down" hence 0 charge.


How many different subatomic particles in an atom?

there are 3 main particles - electron, proton and neutron. however, protons and neutrons both contain what are called quarks. proton has 2 up quarks (charge each 2/3), and 1 down quark (charge -1/3) which gives a total charge of +1. Similarily, a neutron has 2 down quarks and 1 up quark (for 0 charge).


Name the particle of matter that makes up protons and neutrons?

Quarks are the main constituent of matter. It takes two up (posistively charged, stage I Fermions) and one down (Negatively charged Stage I Fermion) quark, the up having electric charge +2/3 and the down having electric charge -1/3, one with red color charge, one with green color charge, and one with blue color charge, to make a proton. (Electric charge +1)(all the Stage I Quarks have spin 1/2) Not sure what makes a neutron...

Two common quarks are called up with a charge of 23 and down with a charge of -13 protons are made up of 3 quarks How many of each quark would make a proton?

To make a proton, which has a charge of +1, you would need two up quarks (each with a charge of +2/3) and one down quark (with a charge of -1/3) since the total charge of a proton is the sum of the charges of its constituent quarks.


What make that ALL protons have SAME mass and electric charge?

Protons are composed of three smaller particles called quarks, each with their own mass and electric charge. These quarks contribute to the overall mass and charge of the proton. Due to the strong force that holds the quarks together within the proton, the combined mass and charge of all three quarks manifest as the consistent mass and electric charge that all protons share.


What are quark combination of proton and neutron?

P=UUD (two up, one down) N=DDU (two down, one up) Down quarks are charge -1/3 relative to a proton and up quarks are charge +2/3 relative to a proton.


What sub atomic particles has a negative charge?

Electrons, down quarks, strange quarks, bottom quarks, muon lepton, and tau lepton all have negative charge. Also, the boson can be negative.

What is the electric charge on the neutron?

The neutron has no net charge. It is made of 2 down quarks (building block for neutrons, electrons and protons) and 1 up quarks. an up quark has a charge of +2/3 of an elementary charge (charge of a single proton), and a down quarks has a charge of -1/3. If you add it up, there is no charge.

Is a proton a single charge of positive energy?

A proton is made of two Up Quarks with a 2/3 positive charge, and one Down Quark with a 1/3 negative charge. So this gives it a net charge of 1.
