Question

Three different sub-atomic particles are described below:

Particle X: Uncharged
Particle Y: Present outside the nucleus
Particle Z: Attracts Particle Y

Which statement is true?

X is a neutron, Y is an electron, and Z is a proton.
X is a neutron, Y is a proton, and Z is an electron.
X is a proton, Y is an electron, and Z is a neutron.
X is an electron, Y is a proton, and Z is a neutron.

Answer 1

Am I right with A?

Answer 2

Thank you

Answer 3

No problem!

Answer 4

I agree, A is correct.

Neutrons are in fact, uncharged.

Particle Y would be the electron since they revolve around the nucleus in the `electron cloud`.

And Particle Z would be proton since protons and neutrons `attract` each other.
