Question

Identify the correct charge of each atomic particle

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, (B) Electron = negative, proton = positive, neutron = no charge

Explanation :

As we know that an atom is the smallest unit of a matter that consist of three subatomic particles which are electrons, protons and neutrons.

The protons and the neutrons are located inside the nucleus or center of the nucleus where the mass of the an atom is concentrated and the electrons are located around the nucleus.

The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged and the neutrons are neutral that means it has no charge.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) Electron = negative, proton = positive, neutron = no charge

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

There are 3 sub-atomic particles present in an atom. They are: Electrons, protons and neutrons.

1. Electrons: They are negatively charged particles and are present around the nucleus in the orbits.
2. Protons: They are positively charged particles and are present inside the nucleus of an atom.
3. Neutrons: They are neutral particles which means they do not carry any charge. They are present in the nucleus of an atom.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
