Answer 1

Protons are found in the: nucleus

The number of protons determines: the identity of the atom/the element

The number of protons is called: the atomic number

Where you look to find the number of protons: periodic table(ex. boron is 5, barium 56, actinium 89, neon 10)

Protons are charged: positive charge

Neutrons are found in the: nucleus

Neutrons are charged: neutral(no charge)

They help protons by: stabilizing their repulsive charge(same charge repels) and stabilizing the nucleus

The mass of protons and neutrons are: 1 amu

Electrons mass is: 5.45 × 10^-4 amu(usually for practical purposes people just say it has 0 mass)

Electrons are charged: negatively

In a neutral atom: number of protons = number of electrons(net charge = 0)

Electrons are responsible for: keeping the atoms neutral, valence electrons interact with other atoms to form ionic compounds.
