Question

An electron is much smaller and lighter than a proton or a neutron.Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.All of an atom's electrons are located outside its nucleus.An electron has a negative electrical charge.A proton is the same size as an electron.Submit
Solution
-
True - All of an atom's electrons are located outside its nucleus. This is because electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom.
-
True - An electron has a negative electrical charge. This is one of the fundamental properties of an electron.
-
False - A proton is not the same size as an electron. Protons are much larger and heavier than electrons.
