Electron: -1 [−1.602176487(40)×10−19 Coulombs]
Proton: +1 [+1.602176487(40) × 10-19 Coulombs]
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
No. An 'atom' can not have more electrons than protons because, by definition, an 'atom' is electrically neutral. If an 'atom' loses or gains an electron, it becomes an 'ion' and is electrically charged. An 'ion' with more electrons than protons will be NEGATIVELY charged because electrons carry negative charge.
The charge of an atom depends on the number of protons as compared with the number of electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1 ECU (electron charge unit), and each proton has a charge of +1 ECU. An Ion is an atom that has a net electric charge that is not 0, because of the introduction or removal of electrons.
Protons and electrons have an electrical charge.
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
Protons have + charge and electrons have - charge.Neutrons does not contain any charge.
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
A net postive charge
No. An 'atom' can not have more electrons than protons because, by definition, an 'atom' is electrically neutral. If an 'atom' loses or gains an electron, it becomes an 'ion' and is electrically charged. An 'ion' with more electrons than protons will be NEGATIVELY charged because electrons carry negative charge.
If you want to look at it simply, an electron is -1 charge and a proton is +1 charge. If you want to use coulombs as the unit, one elementary charge is 1.60x10^-19. so an electron would be -1.60x-19C while a proton is +1.60x-19C.
