Question

Three different sub-atomic particles are described below: Particle X: Uncharged Particle Y: Carries positive charge Particle Z: Orbits the nucleus Which statement is true? X is a neutron, Y is an electron, and Z is a proton. X is a neutron, Y is a proton, and Z is an electron. X is a proton, Y is an electron, and Z is a neutron. X is an electron, Y is a proton, and Z is a neutron.

Answer 1

Neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom except in the nucleus of hydrogen. Since it does not have any charge and it is a neutral atom it is known as neutron. Neutron has a symbol n or $n^{0}$. The mass of single atom is $1.6*10^{-27}$,. Proton is also a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom with the symbol p or $p^{+}$. Proton carries positive charge. Electron is the subatomic particle which revolves round the nucleus and it carries negative charge.

Therefore the answer is X is neutron since it is an uncharged particle Y is a proton since it carries positive charge and Z is an electron since it revolves round the nucleus or orbits the nucleus.

Answer 2

 The statement  which is true  about  the three sub atomic particles  is

X is  a neutron,Y is a protons and z is an electron

Explanation

•  Atom  has three  sub  atomic    particles,that  is  neutrons,protons and electrons.

• Neutrons have no electric  charge,protons  are positively  charged while electrons  are  negatively  charged.
• Both  neutrons and proton are located in the nucleus while electrons  are  located outside the  nucleus.
• since electrons   are located  outside the  nucleus  they  orbit  around the nucleus.
