Question

Choose the pair in which the components have the same charge. question 6 options: a proton and a hydrogen atom a hydrogen atom and an electron a neutron and a hydrogen atom an electron and a neutron

Answer 1

Answer:

           A Neutron and a Hydrogen Atom

Explanation:

                   Hydrogen atom having an atomic mass of 1.008 amu consists of one proton and one electron. Hence, the +ve and -ve charges cancels out and makes the hydrogen atom a neutral specie.

                    Also, we know that neutron is neutral sub particle while, proton and electron are positively and negatively charged respectively. Therefore, a neutral neutron having no charge becomes equal to hydrogen atom having zero charge due to cancellation of both +ve and -ve charges.
