Question

Determine the charge on each set of particles. Be sure to write out your conversions (if applicable)

a. 1.6 × 10^19 protons = ___C

b. 4.0 x10^5 neutrons = ___C

c. 5.3 × 10^24 electrons = ___C

Answer 1

From the calculations;

• The charge on 1.6 × 10^19 protons is 1 C
• The charge on 4.0 x10^5 neutrons is 0 C
• The charge on 5.3 × 10^24 electrons  is  -3.3 × 10^8 C.

What is a charged particle?

A charged particle is any particle that carries either a positive or a negative charge.

• For 1.6 × 10^19 protons, the charge  is  1.6 × 10^19 is 1 C
• For 4.0 x10^5 neutrons the charge 0 C
• For 5.3 × 10^24 electrons, the charge is 5.3 × 10^24 electrons/-1.6 × 10^19 = -3.3 × 10^8 C

Hence;

• Protons are positively charged
• Electrons are negatively charged
• Neutrons have no charge
