Question
Indicate which subatomic particle (proton, neutron, or electron) correctly matches each of the following statements. More than one particle can be used as an answer.
1) Possesses a negative charge.
2) Has no charge.
3) Has a mass slightly less than that of a neutron.
4) Has a charge equal to but opposite in sign to that of an electron.
5) Is not found in the nucleus.
6) Has a positive charge.
7) Can be called a nucleon.
8) Is the heaviest of the three subatomic particles.
9) Has a relative mass of 1836 if the mass of an electron is 1.
10) Has a relative mass of 1839 if the mass of an electron is 1.
Explanation / Answer
1) Possesses a negative charge. = electrons
2) Has no charge. = Neutron
3) Has a mass slightly less than that of a neutron. = Proton
4) Has a charge equal to but opposite in sign to that of an electron. = Proton
5) Is not found in the nucleus. = electrons
6) Has a positive charge. = Proton
7) Can be called a nucleon. = Neutron(or) Proton
8) Is the heaviest of the three subatomic particles. = Neutron
9) Has a relative mass of 1836 if the mass of an electron is 1. = Proton
10) Has a relative mass of 1839 if the mass of an electron is 1. = Neutron
