Atoms contain a number of protons, each with a single positive charge, and the same number of electrons with unit negative charge. Overall, the charges cancel out so that the atom, as a whole, is neutral.

A chargeless mass particle is a particle that does not have an electric charge. Examples include neutrinos and neutrons. They do not interact with electromagnetic forces and are unaffected by electric and magnetic fields.

Particles is found in the nucleus of an atom?

Particles found in the nucleus of an atom are named as nucleons. There are mainly two type of nucleons. They are protons and neutrons. Protons are having positive charge but neutron is chargeless. To keep these nucleons together a particle known as pi mesons are exchanged between the nucleons.

Protons neutrons and electrons combine to form what?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons combine to form atoms. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels, creating the structure of an atom.


What do neutrons and electrons have in common?

Very little except that they are both particles that make up atoms. The electron is a lepton with very little mass and a negative electrical charge. The neutron is a much more massive, chargeless particle (a hadron) which with protons (positively-charged hadrons) forms the atomic nucleus.


How do you use the word neutron in a sentence?

A neutron is a chargeless particle that has almost the same mass as a proton. The force of a supernova is required to add a neutron to the radioactive element's atoms.
