Proton, Electron and Neutron
Protons are Positive
Electron are Negative
neutrons have no charge
How many times smaller is an electron than a proton?
Previously, it was believed that the electron was about three times larger than the proton.The latest scientific measurements sug gest protons and neutrons weigh about 1838 times more than the electron and that the electron is approximately 1000 times smaller than a proton
How many times more does a proton weigh than an electron?
1,840 Times more like compairing a marbles to a Pingpong Ball
State the law of charges.
opposite charges attract and like charges repel.
How many valence electrons are generally contained in materials used for conductors?
One or two
How manyvalence electrons are generally contained in materials used for insulators?
Materials containing seven or eight valence electrons are known as insulators.
What is electricity?
Electricity is a Flow of electrons.
What is a gluon?
A subatomic particle that acts as a mediator to hold the nucleus together. The particle is a quark known as a gluon.
It is theorized that protons and neutrons are actually formed from a combination of smaller particles. What are these particles called?
A neutron is made of three quarks, and is a baryon (baryons are a type of hadron). The colors used do not matter; just which quarks are there. A quark is a tiny particle which makes up protons and neutrons. Atoms are made of neutrons, protons, and electrons.
