Answer to Problem 9LC
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three different types of subatomic particles.
Explanation of Solution
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three different types of subatomic particles.
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit around the nucleus discovered by J. J. Thomson.
Protons are positively charged subatomic particles present in the nucleus discovered by Eugen Goldstein.
Neutrons are neutrally charged subatomic particles present in the nucleus discovered by James Chadwick.
Thus, electrons, protons, and neutrons are three subatomic particles.
