Question
- what are the three main particles that make up an atom?
- draw where you can find the protons and neutrons?
- protons are also called as
- what is the charge of a proton?
- what is the charge of an electron?
- what is the charge of a neutron?
- what force keeps the electrons attracted to the nucleus?
Brief Explanations
- Atoms are composed of protons (positive charge), neutrons (neutral charge), and electrons (negative charge).
- Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom.
- Protons are also called nucleons (along with neutrons as they are in the nucleus).
- Protons have a positive charge (\(+1\) elementary charge).
- Electrons have a negative charge (\(-1\) elementary charge).
- Neutrons have no charge (neutral).
- The electromagnetic force (specifically the electrostatic attraction between the positively - charged nucleus and negatively - charged electrons) keeps electrons attracted to the nucleus.
