<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 1.
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are three subatomic particles in an atom. They are: electrons, protons and neutrons.
- <u>Protons:</u> They carry positive charge and are found in nucleus.
- <u>Electrons:</u> They carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus.
- <u>Neutrons:</u> They dos not carry any charge and are found in nucleus.
Mass of protons and neutrons are almost same and they both contribute to the mass of an atom.
Mass of electrons is very negligible as compared to protons and neutrons.
Masses of the subatomic particles:
Mass of protons = 1.007276 u
Mass of neutrons = 1.008664 u
Mass of electrons = 0.00054858 u
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
There arranged in energy shells each shell has a limit to how many electrons they can carry this varies with element.
it is covalent because it does not dissolve in water
