This might be a dumb question, but in all my years of chemistry and physics studies I have never gotten an explanation of where electrons and protons get their charges from. I don't know if this is the right forum, maybe one of the physics forums might be better? Maybe a physical chemist can answer this question? why do protons and electrons have +/-1.6x10^-19 C of charge and neutrons have 0 charge?
