What is the difference between a proton electron and a nuetron?

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.

∙ 14y agoProtrons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, electrons have a negative charge. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, and electons form the outer orbits of the atom.

∙ 14y agoProtons are positvely charged and have a weight of approximately 1u.
Neutrons don't have a charge and their weight is about the same as that of a proton.
Electrons are negatively charged and have a weight so small that it is left out for calculations.
Protons and neutrons make up the atom core while electrons move around them in a certain distance.

∙ 13y agoThe difference between a proton, electron and a neutron is that a proton is positively charged and a electron is negative, and a neutron is neutral. Protons and neutrons are also about the same mass, and they exist in the nucleus, while electrons are much lighter/smaller, and they exist in the electron cloud.

What does the word PROTON mean in science term?
proton is part of the three things that make up an atom(proton,nuetron,and electron.) it is positive
What is the antonym for proton?
nuetron
What is the difference between the three subatomic particles?
The main differences are proton and neutron are in the nucleus, electrons are outside of the nucleus. The weight of an electron is between a hundred and a thousand times less of that of a proton and neutron and the charge on a proton is positive, neutron is neutral and electron is negative
What are the differences between proton and electron?
proton is positivley charged and id inside the nucleus of an atom, while a electron is negativley charged and orbits the nucleus.
What is the difference between an antiproton and an electron?
[An anti-proton is the "dark side" to a proton. An anti-proton is formed when a proton was accelerated and then his something solid, breaking it apart. An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.] This is somewhat correct, but my understanding is that A proton is a structure of Two Up quarks (uu) and a Down quark (d) and a positron, or anti-electron. an antiproton has the same mass as a proton, and instead is made of two U-Bar Antiquarks and one D-bar antiquark, and an electron. I am not sure if this is completely correct, but if a proton and a antiproton, sometimes called a negiton, are combined they will Annihilate each other, creating a burst of energy. Quantum physics is a wierd science, so I could be very wrong indeed.
What is the difference between a neutron a proton and a electron?
A nuetron has no charge and resides in the nucleus of an atom along with protons that have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge and are in the electron shells around the nucleus.
What are three basic kinds of particles found in an atom?
Nuetron, proton, and electron
What does the word PROTON mean in science term?
proton is part of the three things that make up an atom(proton,nuetron,and electron.) it is positive
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
Which particle is the least massive a proton nuetron electron or nucleas?
electron is least, followed by proton and then neutron. Nucleus will have the highest mass as nucleus contains both protons and neutrons.
Does nuetron proton and electron have to be capitalized?
No, as they are not proper names. They are simply nouns describing things, like "car" or "tree."
What is the antonym for proton?
nuetron
What is the difference between an electron and proton and neutrons?
A proton is positively charged; a neutron has no charge and an electron is negatively charged, that is why it is attracted to the atom, which consists of protons.
What is the difference between H plus and protons?
None. Ahydrogen atom is a proton with a single electron, so if it loses its electron to become H+, it's just a proton.
What is the difference in the amount of charges in a proton and electron?
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
Which of the three subatomic particles proton electron or nuetron has the least mass?
Electrons have the least mass, with protons and then finally neutrons.
What are the charges of a proton and a neutrons?
a proton has a positive cherge and a nuetron has a neutral charge
