What is The Law of Conservation of Charge?

• The strength of the force is determined by the size of the charge.
• Electric charge can neither be created nor destroyed
• There is an opposite and equal force to all charges
• Electric charge is transferred and transformed

the negatively charged particle in an atom. Moves freely. Can be released, shared, or “stolen” from an atom.

• proton
• neutron
• electron

the positively charged particle in an atom. Never leaves the nucleus. Number of protons determines the type of element.

• proton
• neutron
• electron
