Interpretation:
The mass of the electron is to be expressed as a percentage of the mass of a hydrogen atom. The percentage of the mass of hydrogen contributed by subatomic particles other than electron is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The Dalton’s atomic theory states that an atom of an element is an indivisible particle. This theory denies about presence of any subatomic particle. The advances in science and technology pave the way to the discovery of three subatomic particles: electron, proton and neutron. The mass of an electron is found to be
