Question
Among the following subatomic particles, which one has an electrically neutral charge and a mass approximately equal to that of a proton?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The text provides the following masses: Proton mass is about 1.673 x 10-27 kg (positive charge), and neutron mass is about 1.675 x 10-27 kg (electrically neutral). The electron has a much smaller mass and a negative charge.
Hint
Consider the charge and relative mass of each subatomic particle mentioned.
