Question

1pt Which particle is a neutron most equal to in mass?

A. a molecule
B. an atom
O c. a proton
OD. an electron

Answer 1

c. a proton

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutron is most equal in mass to a proton.

A neutron is a subatomic particle without any charges on them.

A proton is a subatomic particle with a positive charge.

• the mass of a proton and neutron are the most similar in an atom.
• the mass of a proton is 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
• So also is the mass of a neutron
• the mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
