What is the difference in the charge of a proton and an electron?

The charge of a proton is positive, while the charge of an electron is negative.


How would a proton-volt compare with electron volt if the mass of proton is 1840 time of electron?

A proton-volt (PV) would be 1840 times greater than an electron-volt (eV) since the mass of a proton is 1840 times greater than the mass of an electron. This means that one proton-volt is equivalent to 1840 electron-volts.


How many valence electrons does HBr have?

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Bromine has 7 valence electrons. When hydrogen and bromine react, the bromine atom 'steals' the hydrogen atom's only electron. The hydrogen atom then has no electrons and the bromine atom has 8 valence electrons. The two atoms are now ions because their number of protons does not equal their number of electrons. The bromine atom is now a bromide anion and the hydrogen atom is now a hydrogen cation (a proton). The two ions remain together, ionicly bonded and together are called hydrogen bromide.


Nadh delivers electrons to an electron what?

NADH delivers electrons to the electron transport chain in the mitochondria during cellular respiration. This transfer of electrons helps to generate a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which drives the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.


When a pair of electrons reaches the second electron carrier enough energy has been released to pump a proton from the stroma to what location?

The proton is pumped from the stroma across the thylakoid membrane, into the thylakoid lumen. This movement of protons creates a proton gradient that is used to generate ATP through chemiosmosis during photosynthesis.

What is in electricity?

There is a current that has proton, neotron, and electron atoms.


What happens when the single valence electron of hydrogen atom is removed?

You are left with just a proton (99.985% of the time).


How can you decide that electron is a negative charge and proton is a positive charge?

These are arbitrary names, given a long time ago. You might just as well call the electron positive and the proton negative; or the electron "left" and the proton "right", or the electron "up" and the proton "down". However, the current convention is so well-established that it won't be likely to change anytime soon.These are arbitrary names, given a long time ago.

Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?

No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.


How do you charge an atom?

remove either a proton or electron OR add a proton or electron...


Is a proton larger or smaller than electron?

An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.


What is the difference in the amount of charges in a proton and electron?

A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
