A nucleus consists of nucleons comprising of protons and neutrons. A proton has a positive charge equal to _ and has a mass of _.
Correct answer: B. 1.6.x 10-19C; 1.673 x 10^-27kg
- A. 2.6 x 10^-19 C; 36. x 10-28 kg
- B. 1.6.x 10-19C; 1.673 x 10^-27kg
- C. 3.6 x 10^-19C; 2.111 x 10^-27kg
- D. 4.6 x 10^-19 C ; 9.111 x 10^-27kg
- E. 5.6 x 10^-19C; 8.111 x 10^-27kg
Explanation
The charge of a proton is indeed 1.6 x 1019 Coulombs (C). This value represents the fundamental unit of positive charge carried by a proton. The mass of a proton is approximately 1.673 x 1027 kilograms (kg). This value represents the mass of a proton, which is approximately 1,836 times greater than the mass of an electron.
