Question

Which of the following correctly pairs the subatomic particle with its charge?

Select one:
a. Proton—neutral
b. Proton—positive
c. Neutron—negative
d. Neutron—positive

Answer 1

Answer: b:

Explanation:

protons are positive,

electrons are negative,

and neutrons are neutral.

the amount of electrons to protons is always the same in a balanced atom.

electrons can be removed creating "ions" which is simply an unbalanced atom. removing protons would result in a different type of atom or element.

Answer 2

Taking into account the definition of neutron, electron and proton, the correct answer is option b. Proton - positive

The atom is defined as the smallest particle into which an element can be divided without losing its chemical properties.

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the particles that make up the atom. These particles determine the characteristics and properties of the chemical elements.

The protons and neutrons are concentrated in the atomic nucleus, while the electrons are distributed in the crust or the periphery of the atom.

Neutrons have no net electric charge, unlike the proton which has a positive electric charge. Lastly, electrons have a negative electrical charge.

Then, the correct answer is option b. Proton - positive
