29 lip 2022 · Protons have a positive electrical charge of one \(\left( +1 \right)\) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit \(\left( \text{amu} \right)\), which is about \(1.67 \times 10^{-27}\) kilograms. Together with neutrons, they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.

Carbon is a chemical element with atomic number 6 which means there are 6 protons in its nucleus. Total number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number of the atom and is given the symbol Z. The total electrical charge of the nucleus is therefore +Ze, where e (elementary charge) equals to 1,602 x 10-19 coulombs.
The element carbon (\(C\)) has an atomic number of 6, which means that all neutral carbon atoms contain 6 protons and 6 electrons. In a typical sample of carbon-containing material, 98.89% of the carbon atoms also contain 6 neutrons, so each has a mass number of 12.
Atoms—and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them—are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × × 10 −23 g, and an electron has a charge of less than 2 × × 10 −19 C (coulomb).
The mass of an atom relative to that of carbon-12. This is approximately the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Where more than one isotope exists, the value given is the abundance weighted average.
30 lip 2024 · Which one has a positive charge, a negative charge, and no charge? Proton—positive; electron—negative; neutron—no charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite.
Atoms—and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them—are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 \(\times\) 10 −23 g, and an electron has a charge of less than 2 \(\times\) 10 −19 C (coulomb).
