im sure its a simple question but i don't know thanks
Electrons are identified by their electrical charge, which is -1. They also have a very small mass compared to other particles, such as protons and neutrons.
Protons are identified by their electrical charge, which is +1. They also have a larger mass compared to electrons and neutrons.
The main difference between electrons and protons is their charge. Electrons have a negative charge, while protons have a positive charge. They also have different masses, with electrons being much smaller than protons.
Yes, electrons and protons behave differently in certain situations. For example, electrons are much more mobile and can easily move from one atom to another, while protons tend to stay in the nucleus of an atom. Additionally, electrons are involved in chemical reactions and bonding, while protons play a role in determining the element of an atom.
Scientists use a variety of methods to detect electrons and protons in experiments, such as using particle accelerators, mass spectrometers, and detectors that can measure the electric charge of particles. They also use mathematical models and theories to predict the behavior of electrons and protons in different scenarios.
