Question

Describe how protons, neutrons, and electrons each affect the charge and mass of an atom.

Answer 1

ahaha proton has mass ~ 1, neutron is about the same (~1) and electron is ~massless

Answer 2

in terms of size, proton and neutron are massive compared to an electron.

Answer 3

Is that supposed to be the answer?

Answer 4

dnt forget the charge

Answer 5

The mass is in u - atomic mass units = 1.660 x 10^-27 kg

Do you remember what the charge is for those, @prowrestler ?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

the electron is about 10,000 times less massive than the proton, which is why @vinL said ~massless.

How about the sign of the charges?

electrons = positive or negative or neutral?
protons = positive or negative or neutral?
neutrons = positive or negative or neutral?

Answer 8

ok ok ok ok ok ok

Answer 9

the charge of the electron is -e, and the charge of the proton is +e

e=1.602 x 10^-19 Coulombs

How about the charge of the neutron?

Answer 10

is it negative because all of them cant be positive.

Answer 11

electrons are negative - neutrons are neutral, hence the name ^^

Answer 12

"hence the name"

Answer 13

Well it's how I remember it!

Answer 14

and why it was named that

Answer 15

Prow
Neutrons - Neutral
Protons - Positive
Electrons - idk what people use to remember but theres only 1 option left haha

Answer 16

N=Neutral
P=Positive
E=Negative

Answer 17

yep I got that

Answer 18

i got it
