It will not require lot of energy to place a an electron very close a proton (for lighter elements)

Protons are positively charged whereas electrons are negatively charged.

There will be attraction between protons and electrons when placed together.

neutrons and protonsbut NOT electrons (the almost have no mass)


What happens if protons revolve around the electrons and neutrons?

Protons in one atom are held close to neutrons in the same atom by the strong nuclear force so the proton can't revolve around the neutron In a hydrogen atom 1 electron revolves around 1 proton. The proton also revolves around the electron but due to the huge difference between their masses, the center of rotation of the two masses is inside the proton, close to it's center


Does an electron have the same speed as a proton?

Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds. However, since a proton has about 1800 more mass than an electron, the same voltage will make an electron move faster than a proton.Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds.

If subatomic particle with a mass equivalent to a proton is what?

The neutron has a mass very close to the mass of proton (but not identical).


Why electron in hydrogen not collide with proton?

Electrons in a hydrogen atom do not collide with the proton due to the electromagnetic forces that balance the attraction between them (proton and electron). The electron orbits the nucleus in defined energy levels, establishing stability within the atom. The probability distribution of an electron's position allows it to be close to the proton without actually colliding with it.


What is the Outershell configuration of lanthanoids?

A series of elements in the periodic-table, generally considered to range in proton number from cerium (58) to lutetium (71) inclusive. The lanthanoids all have two outer s-electrons (a 6s2 configuration), follow lanthanum, and are classified together because an increasing proton number corresponds to increase in number of 4f electrons. In fact, the 4f and 5d levels are close in energy and the filling is not smooth


Do electrons have the mass as protons?

Protons are part of the nucleus, so they have less mass than the nucleus (except in the specific case of hydrogen, where the nucleus is a single proton so they have the same mass).Electrons are much less massive than protons. It would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of one proton.Neutrons are very slightly more massive than protons, by just about the mass of an electron. They're close enough that they're generally treated as having essentially the same mass.


What observation support the conclusion that protons are positively charge?

The motion of the proton in a magnetic field, F= qvxB.


Does protons have the same mass?

Each proton has the same mass as any other proton, as long as the proton is not in motion. Motion close to the speed of light can increase the mass for quantum theory reasons.


What happens when a proton and an electron come close to each other?

Protons and electrons are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. When they come close together, they can form an atom if the proton is captured by the electron's orbit. If they collide instead, they can interact through electromagnetic forces, potentially creating high-energy interactions.


Does electrons have the smallest mass?

Electrons have a very small mass compared to other subatomic particles like protons and neutrons. However, they are not the smallest known particles in terms of mass. The smallest known particles are neutrinos, which have a mass close to zero.


Is a proton an element?

my fellow questioner, a proon is an element _____ Actually a prune is a dried plum. A proton is a subatomic particle, it is not an element. However, the element hydrogen does turn into a proton when ionized. So it's close.
