Question

Compare and contrast the three subatomic particles within a neutral atom was a test question to which Jessie provided the following answer: The atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are both located in the nucleus and have the same mass. The electrons are located in the electron cloud and have very little to no mass. The proton and electron both have a positive charge and the neutron has a neutral charge. What was marked wrong in Jessie's answer? A) The electrons have little to no mass. B) The proton and neutron have the same mass. C) The proton and electron have a positive charge. D) The proton and neutron are both in the nucleus.

Answer 1

Option  C: Is marked wrong --- The proton and electron have positive charge

Reason :

As we know that the three sub atomic particles are

electron --- negatively charged particles

proton - positively charged particle

neutron- no charge - neutral
