Question

What happens when some how electron looses its mass?? I need five hypotheses..​

Answer 1

Answer:

➡ This question is based on quantum mechanics. Let us imagine that a electron lost its mass. Then, the following are the hypothesis of its outcome :

★ The atom will shrink and only the nucleus of atom will survive as mass of protons is equal to mass of electrons. And if electrons loose their mass, the protons surely will become heavier.

★ The charge of atom and its reactivity will decrease as electrons are responsible for this.

★ There would be no conpound formed as in compound teh components are in the fixed ratio of their mass.

★ The elctron will not conduct electricity and it would be difficult for them to remain in their orbit.

★ Also, if electrons loose their mass, then the atom would be unstable and highly explosive as sub - protonic particles will become heavier and would start releasing b - decay.
