Question

Which statement about subatomic particles is NOT true?

A. Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.

B. Protons and electrons have opposite charges.

C. Unlike protons and electrons, neutrons have no charge.

D. Protons and neutrons have the same charge.

Answer 1

Neutrons have no charge while protons are positively charged. D is the right choice

Answer 2

Protons and neutrons have the same charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The protons and neutrons are the subatomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom while the electrons are present in the outer shells.

The charge on protons is positive

Neutrons are neutral.

electrons are negatively charges

Electrons are very light as compared to protons and neutrons while protons and neutrons are almost of same weight.

So based on above facts, the false statement is

Protons and neutrons have the same charge.
