Protons have charge while neutrons do not. Hence, "neu-" like neutral? Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge.

What do electrons have that protons always have in equal magnitude?

Electrons have negative charge and protons have positive charge. These charges always have equal magnitude but opposite signs in an atom, maintaining electrical neutrality.


Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?

Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.


How do protons and electrons differ in their electronic charge?

A charge on a proton?

A proton carries a positive charge of +1 elementary charge, which is equal in magnitude to the charge of an electron but opposite in sign. This charge is fundamental to the behavior of protons in interactions with other particles.


Do Protons have the same magnitude of charge as electrons but are opposite in sign?

No. Protons are positive and neutrons are neutral. Protons have exactly the opposite charge as that of electrons, even though they differ greatly in mass. Proton is 1826 times heavier than electron.


Are the charges of protons and electrons opposite and equal?

Yes, a proton is a subatomic particle that carries a charge equal to but opposite to that of an electron. The proton has a positive charge, and the electron has a negative charge.


What is the difference between neutrons and protons?

protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge...


What is neither negatively nor positively charged?

protons - positive charge electrons - negative charge neutrons - no charge


What electrical charge do protons neutrons and electrons 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.


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.

The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?

The neutral or no charge particle in an atom is called a neutron. Neutrons are located in the nucleus, along with protons. Neutrons have the same mass as protons.
