Question

Which subatomic particles are paired with their charges? 1. electron–positive, neutron–negative, proton–neutral 2. electron–negative, neutron–neutral, proton–positive 3. electron–negative, neutron–positive, proton–neutral 4. electron–neutral, neutron–positive, proton–negative?

Answer 1

Answer: electron–negative, neutron–neutral, proton–positive

Explanation:

Atom is made up of three subatomic particles named protons, neutrons and electrons. Both protons and neutrons are found inside the nucleus of the atom, while electrons are found outside the nucleus of the atom. The charge distribution are as follows:

- The proton carry a positive charge

- The neutron carry no electric charge (i.e electrically neutral)

- The electron carry a negative charge
