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.

How is the mass and charge of a proton best described?

How do you find the net charge of an atom?

To find the charge to mass ratio (specific charge) of an atom, you have to find both the charge of the nucleus and the mass of the nucleus charge of nucleus = proton number x charge of 1 proton (1.6x10^-19) mass of nucleus = nucleon number x mass of 1 proton (1.67x10^-27) the you have to divide the charge of the nucleus by he mass of nucleus e.g Q/M the answer should be in C/kg or Ckg^-1


A neutron has a negative charge and a mass smaller than the mass of a proton?

Yes, the neutron has a negative charge and a mass that is smaller than the mass of a proton.


Which particale has a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit and a unit positive charge?

Is the the mass and charge of electrons compare to that of protons?

The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.


Which radioisotope has an atom that emits a particle with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1?

Proton emission is a type of radioactive decay where an atom emits a proton with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1. An example of a radioisotope that undergoes proton emission is iodine-123.


A particle that has a mass of 1 and a charge of 1 plus is?

A particle that has a mass of 1 and a charge of 1 plus is a proton.


What is mass and charge of a proton?

The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms, which is roughly 938 times the mass of an electron. The charge of a proton is positive and equal in magnitude to the charge of an electron, which is around 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.


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.


How do a proton and neutron compare?

they have adout the same mass


What subatomic particle has a relative mass of 1?

The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.


Why is the charge to mass ratio of proton not constant?

The charge and mass ratio of proton is constant, the positive particles found during discharge tube experiment are nuclei of atoms which have different charge and mass ratio.
