Best Answer

The proton make up the nucleus, along with the neutrons, and the electrons insanely fly all around the nucleus......

The protons have a positive charge, while the electrons have a negative charge.....

Neutrons have no charge....

1. A Proton has a positive charge. (The neutron has no electrostatic charge.)

2. Protons (the number of them) are the defining characteristic of an element. A given element can have different numbers of neutrons. (Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons.) For more information on the proton and neutron, use the links to the Wikipedia articles that have been provided.

The main difference between a proton and a neutron is that the proton has a positive charge of one, and the neutron has no charge. They have approximately the same mass, but the neutron is slightly heavier.

What features do electrons protons and neutrons have?

The two important characteristics of a neutron are its mass and charge. These are described below. 1) Mass of neutron. The mass of a neutron is equal to mass of a proton. The relative mass of neutron in 1 u. the absolute mass of a neutron is 1.6 * 10^-24 gram. 2) Charge of neutron. Neutron has no charge. It is electrically neutral. The two important characteristics of a Proton are its mass and charge. These are described below. 1) Mass of proton. The Proton is actually a hydrogen atom which has lost its electron. Since mass of an electron is very small, we can say that mass of proton is equal to mass of a hydrogen atom. The relative mass of neutron in 1 u. the absolute mass of a neutron is 1.6 * 10^-24 gram. 2) Charge of proton. The charge of a proton is equal and opposite to the charge of an electron. So absolute charge of a proton is 1.6*10^-19 coulomb.
