Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The charges of an electron, a proton and a neutron should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The particles which are smaller than the atoms are said to be sub-atomic particles. The three basic sub-atomic particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The masses in amu up to one significant figure of protons, electrons and neutrons should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The particles which are smaller than the atoms are said to be sub-atomic particles. The three basic sub-atomic particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.
AMU stands for atomic mass unit which is defined as the 1/12 mass of Carbon-12 atom. Carbpn-12 atom composed of six neutrons and six protons in nucleus.
