17
Q

Proton

A

It is a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in size to that of an electron, but of opposite sign.

18
Q

Neutron

A

A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but with no electric charge, present in every atomic nuclei except the regular hydrogen

19
Q

Nucleus

A
