Compare the properties of electrons, protons and neutrons.
Answer
The properties of electrons, protons and neutrons-
Practile | Nature of Charge | Mass | Location |
---|---|---|---|
Electron | Electrons are negatively charged. | 9×10–31 kg | Extra nuclear part distributed in different shell or orbits. |
Proton | Protons are positively charged. | 1.672×10–27 kg (1 µ) | |
(approx. 2000 times that of the electron) | Nucleus | ||
Neutron | Neutrons are neutral. | Equal to mass of proton | Nucleus |
