Which two particles have opposite charges?
(1) an electron and a neutron
(2) an electron and a proton

Sagot :

BrittleSkittle
An electron and a proton because an electron has a negative charge, while a proton has a positive charge. 

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Each element contains three sub-atomic particles which are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Inside the nucleus of an atom, there will be only protons and neutrons. Whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.

Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge.

Therefore, we can conclude that two particles which have opposite charges are an electron and a proton.
