Question #20464

Answer 1

Both are sub-atomic particles.

Explanation:

Protons are relatively massive and have a +1 charge.
Electrons are relatively small, exhibit pronounced wave character, and have a -1 charge.
A proton and electron pair comprise a neutral hydrogen atom.

Answer 2

Look below

Explanation:

• Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge
• Protons live in the nucleus, while electrons are outside the nucleus, in the orbitals
• Protons are significantly heavier than electrons
• The identity of an element depends on the number of electrons; the number of protons can create isotopes, but it itself cannot change the identity of the element
• An electron is a fundamental particle (it cannot be split). A proton is made up of smaller particles (quarks, etc.)
