Choose the options such that the corresponding particles make up the atoms.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The particles in the options “
Explanation of Solution
Description:
According to the basic definition of an atom, it consists of a proton, neutron, and an electron. Proton is a positive electric charge present in the atom and electron is a negative electric charge that exists in the atom. Neutron is a particle with zero net electric charge in the atom.
Molecule is a particle that consists of two or more atoms. That is, the atoms make up the molecule. Hydrogen is an atom.
From the analysis, it is clear that the particles in the options a, c, and e make up the atom.
Conclusion:
Hence, the particles in the options “

- There is relatively little empty space between atoms in solids and liquids, so that the average density of an atom is about the same as matter on a macroscopic scale—approximately 103kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 that of the atom and contains nearly all the mass of the entire atom. (a) What is the approximate density of a nucleus?
