A word that starts with the letter p with 5 letters they means measured in watts
You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.
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.
Sub-atomic particle is the proper term to describe your question. We generally know atom construct from proton, neutron and electron while proton is positron and neutron. To even smaller scale, it is the Quark that is the building block of the matter.
Electrons have a mass of about 9.109389 * 10−31 grams.
Neutrons. Atoms located above the band of stability have an excess of neutrons compared to protons, which makes them relatively unstable. This imbalance in the ratio of neutrons to protons can lead to radioactive decay in an attempt to reach a more stable configuration.
no its not, protons and neutrons make up the nucleus and electrons orbit it
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
protons and neutrons....electrons are on the outer shells
In an atom- the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus(aproximately centre) which makes the middle positively charged. The electrons are around the nucleus. The electrons are attracted to the nucleus because the nucleus is positively charged.
Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negatively charged. Together, these particles determine the chemical and physical properties of an element.

All the chemical elements contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
Iron-56 or 56Fe 56 protons makes it iron. If you add the protons and neutrons, you find the mass, which is 56.
both have a nucleus of protons and neutrons and outer orbits of electrons
No, protons also make up the nucleus along with neutrons. Protons have a positive charge while neutrons have no charge. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary within isotopes of the same element.
A positive calcium ion (Ca^2+) has 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons. This is because the atomic number of calcium is 20, indicating 20 protons in a neutral atom, and losing 2 electrons makes it positively charged while the number of protons and neutrons remains the same.
The number of protons and neutrons controls the weight of an atom.
