  1. Protons are positively charged

    Neutrons have a neutral charge

    Electrons are negatively charged


  2. In physics, the neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.

    In physics, the proton (Greek πρώτον / proton = first) is a subatomic particle with an electric charge of one positive fundamental unit (1.60217653(14)×10−19 C), a diameter of about 1.65×10−15 m[1], and a mass of 938.272309(28) MeV/c2 (1.007276466(13) u, 1.6726×10−27 kg), or about 1836 times the mass of an electron.

    The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge.


  3. in terms of their chemistry,

    electrons are the ones responsible for the interaction of an atom with another atom i.e. electrons are the ones that participates in reactions. they are negatively charged.

    neutrons are neutral in charge. they are actually the ones that participate in nuclear reactions. they are also the ones that contribute to the mass of an atom.

    protons are positively charged that balances the negative charge of electrons. they are alike in properties with neutrons.

  4. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons are neutral. Electrons are located outside the nucleus in the electron cloud and have a negative charge. Protons and neutrons have about the same mass, and electrons have a much smaller mass.
