electrons would most likely b equal to what? neutron or proton?

Question

put in order which is higher than the other

Answer 1

There are a few ways you could look at this…
in terms of charge…
+=Proton (positive)
Neutral=neutron
-=electron (negative)

Or sizewize…
Biggest to smallest…
protons, neutrons, electrons (protons and neutrons are approximately the same size)

Electrons are pretty much the opposite of protons, both in terms of charge and size.
Neutrons are in between…

Also, electrons are involved in chemical reactions while protons and neutrons are only affected by nuclear reactions

Also, in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons…
but that changes when an electron is lost (cation, +), or gained (anion, -)


hope that answers your question

Answer 2

in an electrically neutral atom, # of protons (whch are + charged) = # of electrons (which are - charged) so that the whole atom has a zero charge.

Most atoms have more neutrons than protons or electrons, except Hydrogen (USUALLY has no neutrons, 1 proton, 1 electron) and Helium (usually has 2 neutrons, 2 protons, 2 electrons).

# of protons can be more or less than # of electrons. Atoms on the left side of the periodic table tend to ionize POSITIVELY, meaning they tend to LOSE electrons so that they have more protons than electrons, so that the atom is +. Atoms on the right side tend to ionize negatively. They gain electrons (often from the elements on the left) and so #electrons > # protons.

Answer 3

a. carbon-14 = form of protons and neutrons, so there are 6 protons (from periodic table) and eight neutrons. on condition that there is not any value, there are an identical form of electrons as protons: 6 electrons. b. bromine-eighty one = 35 protons, 40 six neutrons, 35 electrons c. cobalt-60 = 27 protons, 33 neutrons, 27 protons d. barium-137 = fifty six protons, eighty one neutrons, fifty six protons

Answer 4

Are you referring to mass, charge, volume, or some other property? Neutron has the greatest mass. Proton has the most positive charge. Electron has the most negative charge. Since positive is considered to be an absence of negative charge, it is accepted that electrons have "more" charge than protons.

Answer 5

In an atom (neutral which is normal), the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The charge on the electron (-) is equal to charge on the proton(+), that is, the charges on the electron and the protons are equal and opposite.

Answer 6

In stable atoms, protons equal electrons. A stable electron is one that is not negative or positive in charge. An atom is said to have a positive charge when electrons are removed and a negative charge when electrons are added.

Hope that helps.

Answer 7

If you are talking about the electrical charge, Electron is similar to proton except it is opposite.

But if you are talking about mass, it is Electrons, Protons & Neutrons in increasing order..

Answer 8

Electrons are usually equal to the number of protons, in a stable atom that is.
In an unstable atom it gets more complicated.

Answer 9

you cant answer that question but if you mean size then the biggest is proton/neutron and smallest is electron

Answer 10

number of electrons is mostly likely equal to number of protons in an stable an atom.
