Chapter 2, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The atom is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The proton is a positively charged particle and the electron is a negatively charged particle, but the neutron has no net charge. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons and electrons is very important to represent the charge of an atom.
