Question

Write the comparison of the properties of electrons, protons and neutrons.

Answer 1

To answer this question, we first need to understand what atoms are. The smallest unit of ordinary matter that makes up a chemical element is an atom. Atoms that are neutral or ionized make up every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Atoms are incredibly small, measuring about 100 picometers in diameter.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the smallest particles that make up an atom. The nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons, is at the heart of the atom. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons. The properties of these three particles are compared and listed below.

Proton	Neutron	Electron
They are positively charged	They are neutral	They are negatively charged
They can be found in every atom's nucleus.	Except for hydrogen, they are found in the nucleus of all atoms.	They are found in an atom's outer shells, orbiting the positively charged nucleus in well-defined orbits.
The mass of a proton is equal to the mass of a neutron when measured as a single unit.	The mass of a neutron is one unit, and it is equivalent to the mass of a proton.	An electron has a mass of around 1/2000 that of a hydrogen atom.
A proton is denoted by the letter "p."	The letter “n” is used to denote a neutron.	The letter "e" stands for electron.

So, we conclude that, Electrons are a sort of negatively-charged subatomic particle. Protons are a type of positively-charged subatomic particle. Because of the strong nuclear force, protons are linked together in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no charge (they are neutral).

Note: Physical and chemical features of compounds aid in their identification. A physical property is a measurable or observable quality. We looked at color, odor, melting point, and boiling point as some of the more typical physical qualities of compounds in this session.
