What is the difference between a proton electron and a nuetron?

Answer 1

Electrons have virtually no mass, are negatively electrically charged and are to be found orbiting an atoms nucleus in what are called electron shells.

Protons and Neutrons are to be found the the atoms nucleus and they have mass.

Neutrons have no electrical charge while Protons are positively charged. For every Proton to be found in an atom's nucleus, there is a matching electron in one of the electron shells so that overall the + and - electrical charges balance out. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines what element that atom makes.

Neutrons stabilize the atom's nucleolus by separating the + charge protons and their number may vary in an atom - a variation in the number of neutrons in the nucleus with a given number of protons gives rise to atomic isotopes. Neutrons also have no charge.

Protons and Neutrons are located in the nucleus. Protons=Positive. Neutrons=no charge. Electron=E-=Negatively charge.

Answer 2

Protrons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, electrons have a negative charge. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, and electons form the outer orbits of the atom.

Answer 3

Protons are positvely charged and have a weight of approximately 1u.

Neutrons don't have a charge and their weight is about the same as that of a proton.

Electrons are negatively charged and have a weight so small that it is left out for calculations.

Protons and neutrons make up the atom core while electrons move around them in a certain distance.

Answer 4

The difference between a proton, electron and a neutron is that a proton is positively charged and a electron is negative, and a neutron is neutral. Protons and neutrons are also about the same mass, and they exist in the nucleus, while electrons are much lighter/smaller, and they exist in the electron cloud.

Answer 5

Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral (no charge). Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. Together, protons and neutrons make up the majority of an atom's mass, while electrons contribute very little to the overall mass of an atom.

Answer 6

protons have a large mass and positive charge electrons have no mass and negative charge neutrons have mass and no charge

Answer 7

Protons have a positive charge.
Electrons have a negative charge.
Neutrons haven't electrical charge.
