Identify which subatomic particles match each of these descriptions. One of the descriptions describes two particles. Make sure to include both particles it describes.

Description Particle (s)

have a relative charge of + 1

have a relative charge of âˆ'1

have no charge

located in the nucleus of an atom

have a much lower mass than the other two types of particles

First off, it's important to know that the three subatomic particles we have are the proton, neutron and electron.

have a relative charge of + 1 : This is the proton. It is the postive subatomic particle present in an atom.

have a relative charge of - 1 : This is the electron. It is the negative subatomic particle present in an atom.

have no charge : This is the neutron. It is the neutral subatomic particle present in an atom.

located in the nucleus of an atom : Twoo subatomic particles are located in the nucleus, the neutron and proton.

have a much lower mass than the other two types of particles: This is the electron. The proton and neutron are almost similar in mass. The electron is abut 1 / 1840 times the mass of the proton.
