Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles that make up atoms, each having distinct charges:
1. **Protons**: Protons have a positive charge of +1 elementary charge, which is approximately +1.6 × 10^-19 coulombs.
2. **Neutrons**: Neutrons have no charge; they are electrically neutral.
3. **Electrons**: Electrons have a negative charge of -1 elementary charge, which is approximately -1.6 × 10^-19 coulombs.
In summary:
- Protons: +1 charge
- Neutrons: 0 charge (neutral)
- Electrons: -1 charge
The balance of these charges determines the overall charge of an atom; when the number of protons equals the number of electrons, the atom is electrically neutral.
