Question

Give brief information of three subatomic particles with reference to electrical charge, mass and location.

Answer 1

1. Electron
   1. Electrons are present outside the nucleus of an atom.
   2. Electrons are negatively charged that is (−1.6 × 10^-19 coulomb).
   3. The mass of an electron is considered to be negligible. It is 1800  times less than that of a hydrogen
   4. The mass of an electron is 1800 times less than that of a hydrogen atom
   5. It revolves around the nucleus in the discrete orbit.
2. Proton:
   1. Protons are present inside the nucleus of an atom.
   2. Protons are positively charged that is (1e = 1.6 × 10^-19  coulomb).
   3. The mass of a proton is approximately 1 u (1 Dalton) that is (1u = 1.66 × 10^-27 kg).
   4. They are closely bound in the nucleus.
3. Neutron:
   1. Neutrons are present inside the nucleus of an atom.
   2. Neutrons are neutral. There is no charge.
   3. The mass of a neutron is nearly equal to the mass of a proton that is 1u(1Dalton) that is (1u = 1.66 × 10^-27 kg).
   4. They are closely bound in the nucleus.
