What would the charge be with 13 protons 14 neutrons 10 electrons?

The charge of an atom is determined by the difference between its protons and electrons. In this case, the atom would have a +3 charge since it has 13 protons and 10 electrons, leading to an excess of positive charge.


How do protons and electrons influence the flow of electricity?

Protons and electrons influence the flow of electricity by creating an electric field. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. When there is a difference in the number of protons and electrons in a material, it creates an electric potential. This potential difference causes electrons to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, creating an electric current.


What is the difference between a positively and negatively charged atom and how does it occur?

The difference is how many protons and electrons. Protons are positive, (both "p's" easier to remember) so if there are more electrons it's negative, less electrons it's positive. When atoms have electrons added or subtracted it changes the charge, then they are known as ions. The atomic number is how many protons there are, this never changes, if it does there is a different element.


How much electric charge does an object have?

An object's electric charge is typically measured in coulombs (C). The electric charge of an object depends on the number of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The total charge of an object is the difference between the number of protons and electrons.


How did electrons and protons acquire charges?

Electrons and Protons represent actual charges, they do not aquire them. the difference between the two constitutes an energy force, but no one knows what energy is. It is more accurate to ask how charges acquired the names "electron" and "positron", which is an etymological issue.

Whats the difference between electrons and protons?

Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.


How do you write the charge of an ion?

find the difference between the number of electrons and protons, and then find whether protons(+) or electrons(-) are more abundant. if the difference was 2, for example, and there were (2) more protons than electrons, the charge would be written as: chemical symbol 2+


Charge of ion with 34 protons and 36 electrons?

The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, the ion has 34 protons and 36 electrons, resulting in a net charge of 2- since there are 2 more electrons than protons.


What is the definition of atomic charges?

The difference between the positive charges (protons) and the negative charges (electrons).


What is the difference between protons and electrons?

A proton is positive and an electron is negative Protons are approximately 1,835 times the mass of the electron. Protons are in the nucleus. Electrons are in the 'shells'.

What charge would an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?

The ion would have a positive charge equal to the difference between the number of protons and electrons. For example, if there are 10 protons and 8 electrons, the ion would be a 2+ charged ion.


What is 1 smilarity and 1 difference between charge of a proton and electron?

Protons and electrons are both found in an atom. The atomic number on an element tells you the amount of electrons and protons, ex. Hydrogen: Atomic number = 1 Protons: 1 and Electrons: 1. Protons are positively charged molecules while electrons are negatively charged.


How many protons are in an ion with 10 electrons and a -1 charge?

There are 11 protons in an ion with 10 electrons and a -1 charge. The charge of an ion is defined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, since the ion has a -1 charge, it means there is one more electron than the number of protons.

What is the difference between a valence electron and a shielding electron?

Valence electrons are electrons on the outermost shell/orbitals. Sheilding electrons are inner electrons that block valence electrons from protons causing less attraction.


What is the difference between protons neutrons and electrons can I please have a simple answer?

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but the proton is electrically charged and the neutron isn't. Electrons have a much much lower mass and an opposite electrical charge to that of the proton. That's about as simple as I can get it. It's by no means the only difference between them.
