Write the comparison of the properties of Electrons, Protons and Neutrons

Open in App

Solution

Atoms are made of extremely tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus. Electrons surround the nucleus.
Proton Neutron Electron
They are positively charged They are neutral They are negatively charged
They are present in the nucleus of all atoms They are present in the nucleus of all atoms except hydrogen They are present in the outer shells within an atom.
The mass of the proton is taken as one unit and equals the mass of a neutron The mass of the neutron is considered as one unit and it equals the mass of a proton The mass of an electron is about 1/2000 times the mass of a hydrogen atom
A proton is represented as “p” A neutron is represented as “n” An electron is represented as “e”
