Question

  1. what are the three main particles that make up an atom?
  1. draw where you can find the protons and neutrons?
  2. protons are also called as
  3. what is the charge of a proton?
  1. what is the charge of an electron?
  1. what is the charge of a neutron?
  1. what force keeps the electrons attracted to the nucleus?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Atoms are composed of protons (positive charge), neutrons (neutral charge), and electrons (negative charge).
  2. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom.
  3. Protons are also called nucleons (along with neutrons as they are in the nucleus).
  4. Protons have a positive charge (\(+1\) elementary charge).
  5. Electrons have a negative charge (\(-1\) elementary charge).
  6. Neutrons have no charge (neutral).
  7. The electromagnetic force (specifically the electrostatic attraction between the positively - charged nucleus and negatively - charged electrons) keeps electrons attracted to the nucleus.

Answer:

  1. Protons, neutrons, electrons
  2. In the nucleus
  3. Nucleons
  4. Positive charge (\(+1\) elementary charge)
  5. Negative charge (\(-1\) elementary charge)
  6. No charge (neutral)
  7. Electromagnetic force (electrostatic attraction)
