Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept:

The proton, electron and neutron are subatomic particles consisting the atom. The electron has a electric charge of -1 and the proton has a charge of 1. The magnitude of charge on the proton is same as electron but of opposite sign. The neutron is neutral with 0 charge.
