Question

describe the relationship between Protons, Electrons and Neutrons. Refer to mass, location, charge and the connection to atomic # and mass #.

Answer 1

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons, the number of protons are equal to the number of protons, to find the amount of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Protons and neutrons have an overall positive charge. Electrons have an overall negative charge. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an element. Electrons are located on different energy levels/orbitals outside of the nucleus depending on the electron configuration.
