Question
complete the table below, using the diagram of an atom shown at right.
properties of subatomic particles
name\tsymbol\tcharge (in multiples of e)\tapproximate mass (amu)\tlocation on diagram
neutron\tn⁰\t0\t1.0\ta
electron\te⁻\t−1\t0.0005\tb
proton\tp⁺\t+1\t1.0\ta
Step1: Recall subatomic particle properties
Neutrons (\(n^0\)): charge 0, mass ~1 amu, located in nucleus (A).
Electrons (\(e^-\)): charge -1, mass ~0.0005 amu, located in electron cloud (B).
Protons (\(p^+\)): charge +1, mass ~1 amu, located in nucleus (A).
Step2: Verify each row
- Neutron: Charge 0, mass 1.0 amu, location A (nucleus) – correct.
- Electron: Charge -1, mass 0.0005 amu, location B (electron cloud) – correct.
- Proton: Charge +1, mass 1.0 amu, location A (nucleus) – correct.
