deficiency or surplus of electrons
equibrium in protons and neutrons
deficiency or surplus of protrons
deficiency or surplus of neutrons
Erläuterung
The charge of a body is determined by the imbalance between the number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). A deficiency of electrons results in a positive charge, while a surplus of electrons results in a negative charge.
