Chemistry · Structure of atom
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The mass of an electron is about \( 9.109382 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg} \), which is roughly 1/1836th of a proton mass. Statement II: Neutrons are electrically neutral particles with a mass slightly less than that of protons. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Statement I is correct. Statement II is incorrect because neutron mass is slightly greater than that of protons, not less.
