Question

1. how are the charges of protons, neutrons, and electrons different?

Explanation:

Protons carry a positive electric charge (with a magnitude of approximately \(+1.602\times10^{-19}\) coulombs), neutrons have no electric charge (neutral), and electrons carry a negative electric charge (with a magnitude of approximately \(-1.602\times10^{-19}\) coulombs, equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to that of a proton).

Answer:

Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (are neutral), and electrons have a negative charge. The magnitude of the charge of a proton and an electron is equal (\(1.602\times10^{-19}\) C), but their signs are opposite (proton: \(+\), electron: \(-\)), while neutrons have a charge of \(0\).
