How do you find the relative charge of an atom
The electrons are tiny in comparison to the protons and neutrons.Determine the mass number and charge of a nucleus after it has undergone specified decay processes.The nucleus of an atom consists of protons (+ charge) and neutrons (0 charge).The only way to find this is from a periodic table.If the charge is positive, subtract that number from the atomic number to get the number of electrons.The relative charge of a proton is +1, as the charge is positive.
The charge of the proton and electron have the same magnitude, but different polarity or sign.
