Detailed explanation-1: -Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force. Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they’re neutral).

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons, on the other hand, don’t have a charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.

Detailed explanation-4: -On the atomic level, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. Is this true for all particles? Although the mass of a proton is much larger than that of an electron, the magnitudes of their charges are equal.

Detailed explanation-5: -An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound). An electron that is bound to an atom is one of the three primary types of particles within the atom–the other two are protons and neutrons. Together, electrons, protons and neutrons form an atom’s nucleus.
