Question

Compare the properties of protons, electrons and neutrons.

Answer 1

Hint: Protons, and neutrons are particles which are found inside the nucleus and electrons are present outside the nucleus and revolve around it. Protons, electrons and neutrons have different properties like different charge, mass and stability.

Complete step by step answer:

Protons	Electrons	Neutrons
Protons are positively charged particles.	Electrons are negatively charged particles.	Neutrons are neutral particles which mean that they have no charge.
They are present inside the nucleus.	They are present outside the nucleus and revolve around the nucleus.	They are present inside the nucleus.
They have a mass of $1.67 \times {10^{ - 27}}kg$ .	They have a mass of $9.1 \times {10^{ - 31}}kg$	They have a mass of $1.67 \times {10^{ - 27}}kg$ .
Protons are represented as ${p^ + }$	Electrons are represented as ${e^ - }$	Neutrons are represented as $n$
A proton is said to be very stable whether it's in its free state or inside the atoms. They do not decay spontaneously.	Electrons are stable. An atom is said to be stable if its outermost shell has electrons to complete the octet.	They are unstable and decay liberating beta particles.
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the atom.	The number of electrons and protons are equal in an atom.	The mass number of an atom is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Note:
 Electrons are used in radiation therapy, microscopes, cathode ray tubes and various other processes. Protons are also used in various therapies and at high energy they are used to destroy cancer cells and neutrons are particles which help to study various geological samples and materials and their production and storage.
