∙ 14y ago
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)

The Relative masses of subatomic particles are
#Proton ; 1
# neutron ; 1
#electron ; 1/1860 ~ 1/2000 ~ negligible.
NB A neutron as a negligible greater mass than a proton because, when a neutron disintegrates it forms a proton (1) and an electron (1/1860).

What is a property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel each other?
electric charge, via the electromagnetic force.
Which subatomic particles are attracted to each other?
Protons, which have positive charge, attract electrons, which have negative charge. Also, quarks with positive charge attract quarks with negative charge. (Actually, it is this electric charge which defines the properties of the particle they make up. A proton has more quarks with positive charges than with negative charges, for example.)
What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
Mass of an atom is mainly due to nucleus?
Yes, the atomic weight of the protons and neutrons in an atom (the 2 particles that make up the nucleus) is 1 for each of them. The other particle in an atom is an electron. The atomic weight of an electron is 1/1840 so it is often considered negligible.
Particles without electric charge in the atom's nucleus?
Neutrons (n0) are in the nucleus of an atom and have no electrical charge. The Neutron is made of 1 "up" quark and 2 "down " quarks giving it a net charge of zero. Up quarks have a charge of 2/3, and a Down quark has a charge of -1/3 thus: n (1xup, 2xdown) = (1x +2/3)+ (2x -1/3) = 0. (quarks are sub atomic particles, the proton, neutron and electron are composed of them, each has three)
What are the names changes and location of sub atomic particles?
I believe you are asking for the names, charges, and location of subatomic particles? Subatomic particles are the small particles that make up an atom and include... * Protons: have an electron charge of +1, found in the nucleus of each atom but can also be stable by itself (as in the case of the hydrogen ion) * Electrons: have a negative charge, surround the nucleus of atoms * Neutrons: have no net charge, also found in the nucleus of atoms
Where can you locate each of the subatomic particles?
Protons and neutrons are situated in the nucleus; electrons surround this nucleus.
Where in the atom do you find each of the subatomic particles?
The only subatomic particle that has any role in chemistry is the electron.
What is the charge of each of the subatomic particles in hydrogen?
The charge of the proton is positive while the charge of the electron is negative. This keeps the atom together. Unlike most atoms, the hydrogen atoms have only two particles in them.
What is the subatomic particles that electrons repel?
1) what is electron? 2) what is matter? 3) structure of atom?
What is a structure of an typical atom?
There are two main sections of an atom: the nucleus and the electron clouds. The nucleus is made up of two subatomic particles called protons and neutrons. The electron clouds are made up of, you guessed it, electrons, which are stored in different orbitals orbiting the nucleus in different directions. Each of the subatomic particles has different charges. Protons have positive charges, electrons have negative charges, and neutrons are neutral, so they have no charge.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in silicon where are each of these subatomic particles located?
silicon-28 as 14 protons and 14 neutrons in the nucleus and 14 electrons revolving around the nucleus
What makes up the subatomic particles?
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. However, each of these subatomic particles is made up of smaller subatomic particles such as quarks.
6 List the three types of subatomic particles and the charge associated with each?
Neutron is neutral. Proton is positive, Electron is negative.
What is a property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel each other?
electric charge, via the electromagnetic force.
What are the changes on each subatomic particle?
Do you mean Charges? There is the Proton which has a positive or + charge. An electron which has a negative or - charge. And a nuetron that has no charge. There are other sub-subatomic particles i don't think they have charges though.... not sure on that one.
Which particles in atoms have electrical charges?
The Electrons and the Protons.
