State the position, relative masses and charges of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom

Solution

  1. Protons: Protons are located in the nucleus of an atom. They have a relative mass of 1 and a charge of +1.

  2. Neutrons: Neutrons are also located in the nucleus of an atom. They have a relative mass of 1 but no charge, meaning they are neutral.

  3. Electrons: Electrons are located in shells around the nucleus of an atom. They have a very small relative mass (approximately 1/1840 of a proton's mass), and a charge of -1.
