Question

(c.6b) match each term and definition. this is a subatomic particle with a negative charge and very little mass. neutron this is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. choose this is a group of protons and neutrons in the center of all atoms. this is a subatomic particle with a positive charge and a mass of 1 amu. this is a subatomic particle with no charge and a mass of 1 amu choose

Explanation:

First Term - "This is a subatomic particle with a negative charge and very little mass."

• The correct term is "Electron" because electrons are subatomic particles that have a negative charge and a very small mass (much smaller than protons and neutrons). The current selection of "Neutron" is incorrect as neutrons have no charge.

Second Term - "This is an atom that has lost or gained electrons."

• The correct term is "Ion" because by definition, an ion is an atom (or molecule) that has a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

Third Term - "This is a group of protons and neutrons in the center of all atoms."

• The correct term is "Nucleus" because the nucleus of an atom is the central part that contains protons and neutrons.

Fourth Term - "This is a subatomic particle with a positive charge and a mass of 1 amu."

• The correct term is "Proton" because protons have a positive charge and a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu).

Fifth Term - "This is a subatomic particle with no charge and a mass of 1 amu."

• The correct term is "Neutron" because neutrons are neutral (no charge) and have a mass of approximately 1 amu.

Matching Results:

1. "This is a subatomic particle with a negative charge and very little mass." → Electron
2. "This is an atom that has lost or gained electrons." → Ion
3. "This is a group of protons and neutrons in the center of all atoms." → Nucleus
4. "This is a subatomic particle with a positive charge and a mass of 1 amu." → Proton
5. "This is a subatomic particle with no charge and a mass of 1 amu" → Neutron

For the first dropdown (originally set to Neutron): Change to "Electron".
For the second dropdown (labeled [Choose]): Select "Ion".
For the third dropdown (labeled [Choose]): Select "Nucleus".
For the fourth dropdown (labeled [Choose]): Select "Proton".
For the fifth dropdown (labeled [Choose]): Select "Neutron".
