Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Mae was given an information sheet that listed some properties of the smaller particles in an atom.Subatomic ParticlesI) Electrons are negatively charged and orbit the nucleus.II) Neutrons are located in the nucleus and have no charge. III) Neutrons, protons, and electrons have approximately the same mass.IV) Protons are positively charged and are found in the nucleus.Mae’s list appeared to be correct except for one item. Which one was incorrect?

A	I
B	II
C	III
D	IV

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Electrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles that generally orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are much smaller than protons or neutrons. Despite being so small, their charge is as strong as a proton, which means that one proton and one electron will balance each other out.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -neutron, neutral subatomic particle that is a constituent of every atomic nucleus except ordinary hydrogen. It has no electric charge and a rest mass equal to 1.67492749804 × 10−27 kg-marginally greater than that of the proton but 1, 838.68 times greater than that of the electron.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force.
