Protons, inclusive of neutrons, variety the middle of an atom. Protons have an excellent fee, whilst electrons have a damaging fee. Neutrons at the instant are not charged. To variety an atom an equivalent quantity of protons and electrons are mandatory interior the atom. as an occasion: Hydrogen (H) includes in simple terms one million proton and one million electron. Helium (He) includes 2 protons, 2 electrons and the two one million or 2 neutrons (based on the isotope). whilst the quantity of protons and electrons at the instant are not equivalent it extremely is asserted as an ion.

Electrons are the smallest and lightest of the particles in an atom. Electrons are in constant motion as they circle around the nucleus of that atom. Electrons are said to have a negative charge.

Protons are much larger and heavier than electrons. Protons have a positive electrical charge.

# of electrons + # of protons = atomic weight
