Protons: <span>The mass of the proton is about 1,840 times the mass of the electron and slightly less than the mass of the neutron. Electrons: </span><span>Electrons are arranged around the nucleus of atoms in regions called electron clouds or electron orbits. Neutrons: </span><span>A neutron is one of two particles found inside the nucleus (central part) of an atom. The other particle is called a proton. Electrons are particles that move around an atom outside the nucleus.</span>
a covalent bond and an ionic bond. An ionic bond if formed from the transfer of electrons from the outer shell of atoms. ... An example of this is NaCl, where the sodium atom becomes Na+ due to the loss of electrons, and the chlorine atom becomes the negatively charged chloride (Cl-).
