What else can I help you with?
Are particles and atoms the same thing?
No, particles and atoms are not the same thing. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, while particles refer to smaller components that make up atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Is there a difference between atoms and particles, or are they the same thing?
Atoms and particles are not the same thing. Atoms are the basic units of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Particles, on the other hand, refer to any subatomic particles, including protons, neutrons, electrons, and others like quarks and leptons. So, while atoms are made up of particles, particles themselves can exist independently of atoms.
How do you determine the number of electrons in an atom?
The number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of the element, which is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that balance the positive charge of protons in an atom.
What moves in a current?
Heat Energy
How are electrons neutrons and protons different?
Protons have a positive (+) charge.Neutrons have no charge.Electrons have a negative (-) charge.Proton and neutron are roughly the same sizeElectrons are considerably smaller than protons or neutronsProtons and neutrons have a relative atomic mass of 1The mass of electrons is so small it is not included in calculations of an atom's mass.
What do valence electrons and electrons have in common?
All are elementary particles, with the same mass, negative charged (-1).
2 subatomic particles have the same charge?
Protons have positively charged particles, Electrons have negatively charged particles, and Neutrons don't have and charged particles
An atom has the same number of which two particles?
An atom has the same number of electrons and protons. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus.
How can an atom be electrically neutral charged when it contain particles that are charged?
an atom is electrically neutral if the protons and electrons are the same number. ex: if you have 16 protons and 16 electrons its is neutral
Are there the same amount of protons as there are of electrons in and atom?
NoYes. A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons.
Are particles and atoms the same thing?
No, particles and atoms are not the same thing. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, while particles refer to smaller components that make up atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
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.
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The number of protons must equal the number of electrons in an atom for it to have no charge. Protons are positively charged particles, and electrons are negatively charged particles. A balanced number of protons and electrons results in an atom with a neutral overall charge.
Why electron doesn't replel in an orbit?
Electron doesn't repel in an orbit however they are same charged particle, but same charged particles always repel. This is due Meson's theory of charged particles, he says electrons doesn't repel because they have one orbital different and another different.
What is the negatively charged particle that spins around the center of an atom?
an electron. :) and protons are positively charged and chill out in the Nucleus. The Nucleus also includes Neutrons which are, go figure, Neutral charge. So the negatively charged electrons orbit the Nucleus and inside the nucleus are Protons - positive - and Neutrons - neutral. In fact, what keeps the electrons orbiting is the fact that opposite charges are attracted to one another, so the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged Nucleus. (the nucleus is positive because it's made up of positive particles - protons - and neutral particles - neutrons - so the overall charge is positive.) :) Hope this helped.
Is a proton the same as an electron?
No. Protons and electrons are both charged, but they have opposite charge. Protons and electrons both have mass, but electrons have 1/1800th the mass of a proton. Protons are comprised of three quarks, but electrons are not composite particles. Protons have a physical size, but electrons are point particles (as far as we have been able to determine). The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom are the same.
Why is any atom neutral?
The atom has the same number of electrons as protons. electrons are negatively charged, and protons are positively charged. So for example in a Helium atom, it has 2 protons and 2 electrons, so the sub-particles cancel out, making the atom neutral.
