choose the letter of the best answer.

1. which is not one of the three subatomic particles that make up atoms?

a. electron
b. neutron
c. boson
d. proton

1. which is a weak interaction between molecules?

a. van der waals
b. bionic
c. covalent
d. ionic

Explanation:

Question 1

The three subatomic particles that make up atoms are electrons, neutrons, and protons. Bosons are a different type of particle (e.g., gauge bosons, Higgs boson) and not one of the three fundamental subatomic particles of an atom. So the option that is not one of the three is boson.

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces. Bionic refers to something related to biology and technology, not a molecular interaction. Covalent and ionic bonds are strong chemical bonds between atoms within a molecule, not weak interactions between molecules. So the weak interaction between molecules is van der Waals.

Answer:

C. boson
