Which is bigger a coulomb or charge if an electron?
A coulomb is bigger. Please also note that a coulomb is defined as a POSITIVE charge, while an electron has a NEGATIVE charge. Anyway, the magnitude of a coulomb is much bigger than that of an electron.
The charge and mass number of a proton are?
No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.
Which has more mass-a proton or electron?
The proton has much more mass than the electron, by a factor of 1836 times, a ratio called "mu". Recent astronomical research suggests mu may have changed by 20 parts per million in the last 12 billion years, but I plan to wait at least a billion years for confirmation!
The mass and charge of each subatomic particles and the nucleus?
Subatomic particles are measured in AMU.1 Proton = 1 AMU (Positive Charge [think pro])1 Neutron = 1 AMU (No Charge [think NEUtral])1 Electron = 1/1836 AMU (Negative Charge)
What subatomic particle has a very small mass and a negative charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. When an element had more electrons than protons, it tends to have a negative charge.
How big is a proton compared to an electron?
They have the same charge but its opposite: electron is 1.602x10^-19C with negative charge proton is 1.602x10^-19C with positive charge proton is over 1800 time bigger than electron
How big is a electron compared to a proton?
A proton is bigger than electron
How big is a proton compared to a electron?
A proton is bigger than electron
Is the charge of an electron greater than the charge of a proton?
they are equal.
Does electron has lesser amount of charge than proton?
No, their charge is equal to each other.
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.
Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?
In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.
Which is bigger a coulomb or charge if an electron?
A coulomb is bigger. Please also note that a coulomb is defined as a POSITIVE charge, while an electron has a NEGATIVE charge. Anyway, the magnitude of a coulomb is much bigger than that of an electron.
What does it mean when a atom has a charge of plus 1?
one more proton than electron
What substance particle has a negative charge and less mass than a proton?
This particle is the electron.
Can you generate the electricity by the moving of proton as electron?
No. While the proton has the opposite charge of the electron, the proton will not flow from atom to atom like the electron does because the strong atomic force holding the proton in the nucleus is much more powerful than the electromagnetic force.
Is an electron bigger than a proton?
No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.
