No, they are completely different.
A proton is much larger than and electron and carries a positive charge. Protons can be divided into smaller particles called quarks.
An electron is tiny compared to a proton and carries a negative charge. Electrons are fundamental particles, meaning they cannot be divided into smaller particles.
What else can I help you with?
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
Do an isotope have extra electrons or protons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons (which determine the element) but may have a different number of neutrons. They do not have extra electrons or protons; the number of electrons in an isotope is the same as the number of protons, ensuring the overall charge is balanced.
In atoms electrons and protons are in the same ratio or different ratio?
protons and electrons are identical in number in an atom
An atom has what number of protons and electrons?
9 protons and 10 neutrons in F-19 isotope.
What atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.
Do all atom have the same number of electrons or protons?
No, only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons.
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
How does a neutron have same number of protons and electrons?
a neutron is neutral. it doesn't have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom that is neutral does. A neutron has the same mass as a proton but it doesn't have a chrge. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.
Do protons nuetrons and electrons all have about the same mass?
Protons and neutrons have about the same mass, but electrons are much, much lighter.
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
If an atom has 49 protons how many electrons does it have?
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
How many protons electrons does it have?
A "atom" which by definition is electrically neutral, has the same number of electrons as it has protons.
Do protons have the same charge as electrons?
yes. protons are positively charged. electrons are negatively charged
Do an isotope have extra electrons or protons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons (which determine the element) but may have a different number of neutrons. They do not have extra electrons or protons; the number of electrons in an isotope is the same as the number of protons, ensuring the overall charge is balanced.
When an atom has seven protons how many electrons does it have?
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
