The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.

Is the charge of electron equal but opposite to the charge of neutron?

A neutron has no charge. That's why it is called a neutron; the neu part stands for neutral, meaning without charge. The charge of an electron, which is -1, is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is +1.


Which particle has no charge Electron Positron Neutron Proton?

Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.


A proton has a what?

A proton has a positive charge.


What charge is found in a electron?

the electron is a negatively charged particle hence its symbol '-'..in an atom the number of protons is equal to that of electrons.they are positively charged particles.


What features do electrons protons and neutrons have?

The two important characteristics of a neutron are its mass and charge. These are described below. 1) Mass of neutron. The mass of a neutron is equal to mass of a proton. The relative mass of neutron in 1 u. the absolute mass of a neutron is 1.6 * 10^-24 gram. 2) Charge of neutron. Neutron has no charge. It is electrically neutral. The two important characteristics of a Proton are its mass and charge. These are described below. 1) Mass of proton. The Proton is actually a hydrogen atom which has lost its electron. Since mass of an electron is very small, we can say that mass of proton is equal to mass of a hydrogen atom. The relative mass of neutron in 1 u. the absolute mass of a neutron is 1.6 * 10^-24 gram. 2) Charge of proton. The charge of a proton is equal and opposite to the charge of an electron. So absolute charge of a proton is 1.6*10^-19 coulomb.

What is the charge on a electron called?

the charge of a proton is called positive charge neutron- negative charge electron- no charge


In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?

Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.


Do proton electron neutron have what charge?

Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge. The charge of one electron and one proton are equal yet opposite so they cancel out one another.Neutrons have a neutral charge -Apex

What two particles are found in this central core and what are then charges of these particles?

there are two, yes. One is a proton, the other is a neutron. Protons have a positive charge equal but opposite to the charge of the electron, and neutrons have no charge.


The charge on Neutron is equal to the charge on aton?

Yes and no - an atom has no charge - it is neutral because it contains equal numbers of positive and negative charges. A neutron has no charge at all, ever.


What kinds of electral charge do protons electrons and neutrons have?

Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
