Which of the following statements is true about the subatomic particles of an atom?
O Protons weigh less than electrons.
Protons weigh less than neutrons.
O Protons and neutrons have the same mass.
Electrons weigh more than neutrons.
ctor
O None

B. Protons weigh less than neutrons.

Explanation:

Option 1: Wrong

The mass of an electron is only about 1/2000 the mass of a proton or neutron, so electrons contribute virtually nothing to the total mass of an atom.

Option 2: Correct

Neutron's second down quark is heavier than the proton's second up quark. So the greater mass of this down quark gives the neutron a greater mass than the proton.

Option 3: Wrong

The proton and neutron have similar, but not identical masses. Either of these particles has a mass approximately 2000 times greater than the mass of an electron. ... The electrons make the greatest contribution to the chemical properties of the atom.

Option 4: Wrong

A neutron is made up of 2 down quarks and 1 up quark, bound together by 3 gluons. A proton is made up of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks, again, bound together by 3 gluons. The up quark is the lightest quark, and any other type is heavier. Both hadrons have 3 gluons, an up and a down quark in common. The only particles left are an up quark from the proton and a down quark from the neutron. Since any other quark is heavier than an up quark, the down quark is heavier. And same+lighter<same+heavier.

A proton and a neutron have a mass approximately 2000 times (x1836) of an electron each.

? you expect us to answer this? ? this is your schoolwork, i don't think we can with this, i think it would considering being

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
