Make the following statements as true or false if false correct the statement
In a neutral atom the number of proton always equals the number of neutron
Electrons are less massive than neutron
The charge of proton plus the charge of a neutron=+2
In a neutral atom, the number of protons always equals the number of electrons. (True)
Electrons are less massive than neutrons. (True)
The charge of a proton plus the charge of a neutron is +0, since the charge of a proton is +1 and the charge of a neutron is 0. Therefore, the statement is false.
In a neutral atom, the number of protons always equals the number of electrons. (True)
Electrons are less massive than neutrons. (True)
The charge of a proton plus the charge of a neutron equals +2. (False)
- The charge of a proton is +1, and the charge of a neutron is 0. Therefore, the correct statement would be: The charge of a proton plus the charge of a neutron = +1.
