Answer to Problem 107A
An atom consists of three subatomic particles named proton, neutron, and electron. Protons are positively charged, have a relative mass of
Explanation of Solution
An atom consists of a nucleus which is centrally located and contains neutrons and protons. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in shells. Most of the mass is contained in the nucleus as electrons are almost negligible in mass. The positive charge on a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge on an electron.
