Explanation:

To solve the table for subatomic particles, we analyze each particle:

First Particle (Leftmost, Charge +1, Mass 1.0 amu, Location A)

• Name: Proton (positively charged, mass ~1 amu, in nucleus).
• Symbol: \( p^+ \) (or just \( p \), but \( p^+ \) is precise for charge).
• Charge: \( +1 \) (given).
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (given, matches proton mass).
• Location: A (nucleus, as A is the central region).

Second Particle (Middle, Symbol \( +p \)? Wait, no—correcting: Middle particle (with symbol \( +p \) box? Wait, no, let’s re-express. Wait, the middle row (second column) has charge box, mass “Select”, location “Select”. Wait, no—let’s re-express the table structure:

	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
Symbol		\( +p \)? No, wait—original table:

Looking at the diagram:

• A (center) = nucleus (protons + neutrons).
• B (inner orbit) and outer orbits = electrons.

Third Particle (Rightmost, Charge -1, Mass 0.0005 amu, Location B)

• Name: Electron (negatively charged, mass ~0.0005 amu, in electron cloud/orbits).
• Symbol: \( e^- \) (or just \( e \)).
• Charge: \( -1 \) (given).
• Mass: \( 0.0005 \) amu (matches electron mass).
• Location: B (electron orbit, as B is a ring around A).

Middle Particle (Column 2, between proton and electron)

Wait, the middle column (second) has:

• Name: Neutron (neutral charge, mass ~1 amu, in nucleus).
• Symbol: \( n \) (no charge, so symbol \( n \)).
• Charge: \( 0 \) (neutrons have no charge).
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (matches neutron mass, same as proton).
• Location: A (nucleus, same as proton).

Filling the Table:

Name	Proton	Neutron	Electron
Charge	\( +1 \)	\( 0 \)	\( -1 \)
Mass	\( 1.0 \)	\( 1.0 \)	\( 0.0005 \)
Location	A	A	B

Key Corrections:

• Middle particle (neutron) has charge \( 0 \), mass \( 1.0 \) amu, location A (nucleus), name Neutron, symbol \( n \).
• Leftmost (proton): charge \( +1 \), mass \( 1.0 \), location A, name Proton, symbol \( p^+ \).
• Rightmost (electron): charge \( -1 \), mass \( 0.0005 \), location B, name Electron, symbol \( e^- \).

If the table requires filling the middle (second) particle:

• Name: Neutron
• Symbol: \( n \)
• Charge: \( 0 \)
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (select \( 1.0 \) from the dropdown)
• Location: A (select A from the dropdown)

For the leftmost (proton):

• Name: Proton
• Symbol: \( p^+ \) (or \( p \))
• Charge: \( +1 \) (given)
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (given)
• Location: A (given)

For the rightmost (electron):

• Name: Electron
• Symbol: \( e^- \)
• Charge: \( -1 \) (given)
• Mass: \( 0.0005 \) amu (given)
• Location: B (select B from the dropdown)

Final Table (Filled):

Name	Proton	Neutron	Electron
Charge	\( +1 \)	\( 0 \)	\( -1 \)
Mass	\( 1.0 \)	\( 1.0 \)	\( 0.0005 \)
Location	A	A	B

(Adjust dropdowns: Middle particle’s mass = \( 1.0 \), location = A; middle particle’s charge = \( 0 \).)

Answer:

To solve the table for subatomic particles, we analyze each particle:

First Particle (Leftmost, Charge +1, Mass 1.0 amu, Location A)

• Name: Proton (positively charged, mass ~1 amu, in nucleus).
• Symbol: \( p^+ \) (or just \( p \), but \( p^+ \) is precise for charge).
• Charge: \( +1 \) (given).
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (given, matches proton mass).
• Location: A (nucleus, as A is the central region).

Second Particle (Middle, Symbol \( +p \)? Wait, no—correcting: Middle particle (with symbol \( +p \) box? Wait, no, let’s re-express. Wait, the middle row (second column) has charge box, mass “Select”, location “Select”. Wait, no—let’s re-express the table structure:

	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
Symbol		\( +p \)? No, wait—original table:

Looking at the diagram:

• A (center) = nucleus (protons + neutrons).
• B (inner orbit) and outer orbits = electrons.

Third Particle (Rightmost, Charge -1, Mass 0.0005 amu, Location B)

• Name: Electron (negatively charged, mass ~0.0005 amu, in electron cloud/orbits).
• Symbol: \( e^- \) (or just \( e \)).
• Charge: \( -1 \) (given).
• Mass: \( 0.0005 \) amu (matches electron mass).
• Location: B (electron orbit, as B is a ring around A).

Middle Particle (Column 2, between proton and electron)

Wait, the middle column (second) has:

• Name: Neutron (neutral charge, mass ~1 amu, in nucleus).
• Symbol: \( n \) (no charge, so symbol \( n \)).
• Charge: \( 0 \) (neutrons have no charge).
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (matches neutron mass, same as proton).
• Location: A (nucleus, same as proton).

Filling the Table:

Name	Proton	Neutron	Electron
Charge	\( +1 \)	\( 0 \)	\( -1 \)
Mass	\( 1.0 \)	\( 1.0 \)	\( 0.0005 \)
Location	A	A	B

Key Corrections:

• Middle particle (neutron) has charge \( 0 \), mass \( 1.0 \) amu, location A (nucleus), name Neutron, symbol \( n \).
• Leftmost (proton): charge \( +1 \), mass \( 1.0 \), location A, name Proton, symbol \( p^+ \).
• Rightmost (electron): charge \( -1 \), mass \( 0.0005 \), location B, name Electron, symbol \( e^- \).

If the table requires filling the middle (second) particle:

• Name: Neutron
• Symbol: \( n \)
• Charge: \( 0 \)
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (select \( 1.0 \) from the dropdown)
• Location: A (select A from the dropdown)

For the leftmost (proton):

• Name: Proton
• Symbol: \( p^+ \) (or \( p \))
• Charge: \( +1 \) (given)
• Mass: \( 1.0 \) amu (given)
• Location: A (given)

For the rightmost (electron):

• Name: Electron
• Symbol: \( e^- \)
• Charge: \( -1 \) (given)
• Mass: \( 0.0005 \) amu (given)
• Location: B (select B from the dropdown)

Final Table (Filled):

Name	Proton	Neutron	Electron
Charge	\( +1 \)	\( 0 \)	\( -1 \)
Mass	\( 1.0 \)	\( 1.0 \)	\( 0.0005 \)
Location	A	A	B

(Adjust dropdowns: Middle particle’s mass = \( 1.0 \), location = A; middle particle’s charge = \( 0 \).)
