.4 Relative electrical charges of subatomic particles

Cards (3)

  • the relative electrical charges of the particles in atoms are:
  • In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. Atoms have no overall electrical charge.
  • The number of protons in an atom of an element is its atomic number. All atoms of a particular element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons.
