Question

what is the charge of a proton, neutron and electron? label the diagram of the atom to represent their location.

Explanation:

Determine the charges of subatomic particles

• Proton: positive charge (\(+1\) or \(+1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}\))
• Neutron: neutral charge (\(0\))
• Electron: negative charge (\(-1\) or \(-1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}\))

Identify the locations of subatomic particles in the diagram

• Nucleus (central shaded circle): contains protons and neutrons
• Electron shells (outer concentric rings): contain electrons

Answer:

• Proton: Positive charge (\(+1\)), located in the central nucleus (shaded circle).
• Neutron: Neutral charge (\(0\)), located in the central nucleus (shaded circle).
• Electron: Negative charge (\(-1\)), located in the outer shells (concentric rings).
