Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but one can assume the answer from the definition of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the science that describes particles in nature at the atomic and subatomic particle (electron, proton and neutron) level. Thus it can be assumed that atoms and subatomic particles are used to broadly describe particles.

Answer:

C. The mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or

a neutron.

Explanation:

When we compare the mass of an electron to that of proton or neutron, the mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or a neutron.

Electrons are negatively charged particles in an atom

Protons are positively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges.

The relative mass of an electron compared to that of a proton is $\frac{1}{1840}$
This is a very small value
Electrons generally have mass of 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
Protons weigh 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

Neutrons weigh 1.68 x 10⁻²⁷kg

We can see that electrons have very small mass and this is why when calculating the mass of an atom, we use the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.

I know there are 4.5*10^-9 seconds in 4.5 nanoseconds, but when I enter it into my TI-30xIIs, I get 4.5*10^-10. I enter it as 4.

Answer:

You are not using properly the function exponential in your calculator

Explanation:

When a number is too big or too small we use scientific notation. This is a number between 1 a 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

When you are writing 4.5*10^-9 you are actually writing 0.0000000045 in scientific notation.

When you enter this in the calculator you have to use the function EXP after the first two numbers.

Steps: 1) Enter 4.5

2) Enter EXP
