Question

Name three subatomic particles and the charges present on them

Answer 1

Answer:Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles found in an atom. Protons have a positive (+) charge. An easy way to remember this is to remember that both proton and positive start with the letter "P." Neutrons have no electrical charge.

Explanation:

Proton. This is a positively charged particle that is present in the nucleus of atoms. It has a charge of

+1.6×10'-19 C

. But for ease we might say it has a charge of +e or +1.

Neutron. This particle has a charge of zero; it is uncharged/neutral. It is present in the nucleus of atoms.

Electron. This is a negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of atoms, i.e. outside the nucleus (electrons exist in the space between atomic nuclei). They have a charge of

–1.6×10'-19

C

. But for ease we might say it has a charge of –e or –1.

Answer 2

1. Protons - positive charge

2. Electron - negative charge

3. Neutron - neither positive not negative it has no charge
