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
- 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.

Answer:
NO3-
Explanation:
Given the reaction equation;
Au(s) + 3NO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq)→Au3+(aq) + 3NO2(g) + 3H2O (l).
We can consider the oxidation states of species on the left and right hand sides of the reaction equation;
Au is in zero oxidation state on the left hand side and an oxidation state of +3 on the righthand side.
NO3- is in oxidation state of +5 on the righthand side and NO2 is in + 4 oxidation state.
H+ is in + 1 oxidation state on both the left and right hand sides of the reaction equation.
Since reduction has to do with a decrease in oxidation number, it follows that NO3- was reduced in the reaction.
