Concept explainers
To Describe: the names, charges, and locations of three types of subatomic particles that make up an atom.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An atom consists of three particles and they are protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons carry positive charge, electrons carry negative charge and the neutrons are electrically neutral.
Atoms are made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons.
Protons:
The protons have approximately
Neutrons:
The approximate mass of the neutrons is the same as protons
Electrons:
Mass of electron is
Conclusion:
An atom has three components: electrons, neutrons, protons. The neutrons and protons are inside the nucleus and electrons are outside the nucleus and move in the orbitals.
