  1. Protons (in the nucleus) have a positive charge.
  2. Neutrons (in the nucleus) have no charge.
  3. Electrons (in the cloud surrounding the nucleus) have a negative charge.

In a neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.

Are electric charges carried by particles of matter?

yes


What do electric fields start with?

Electric fields start with charged particles, such as electrons or protons. These charged particles generate electric fields around them that can exert forces on other charged particles in the vicinity.


Subtomic particles found in nucleus of an atom?

Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus.


Which subtomic particles contain the energy stored in chemical bonds?

electrons in their orbitals


What particles in an atom have negative electric charges?

Electrons... Electrons are the atomic particles that have a negative electronic charge


Who studyed black holes and subtomic particles?

Lots of scientists study those topics.


What force pulls the particles together?

The force that pulls particles together is called the electromagnetic force. This force is responsible for the attraction between particles with opposite electric charges and the repulsion between particles with like charges.


What produces an electric force?

An electric force is produced by the interaction of electrically charged particles. Opposite charges attract each other, while like charges repel each other. The strength of the electric force is determined by the amount of charge on the particles and the distance between them.


What particles have negative electric charges equal to the positive charges of the protons?

The electrons; their negativity cancels out the protons' positivity so the atom is electrically neutral.


Negative electric charge?

Negative electric charge is a fundamental property of subatomic particles such as electrons, which carry a charge of -1. This charge leads to the attraction between negatively charged particles and positively charged particles. When negative charges accumulate, they create an electric field that can exert a force on other charges in the vicinity.


How do you compare and contrast electric forces and magnetic forces?

Electric forces and magnetic forces are both fundamental forces in nature that act on charged particles. Electric forces are created by the presence of electric charges, either attracting opposite charges or repelling like charges. Magnetic forces, on the other hand, are created by moving electric charges or magnetic materials, attracting or repelling based on the orientation of the magnetic field. While both forces involve the interaction of charged particles, electric forces are static and act on stationary charges, while magnetic forces are dynamic and act on moving charges.


Why do atom have no electric charge even though most of their particles have charges?

Non ionic atoms have no electric charge, even though most of their particles have charge, because the positive particles (protons) balance the negative particles (electrons).
