Q1. Which particle has negligible mass?
- A.electron
- B.proton
- C.neutron
- D.alpha particle
Answer: A. electron
Concept involved: The electron's mass is negligible (~1/1836 u). Picking the matching option: Correct. Hence the correct option is A) electron.
Q2. Which subatomic particle carries a negative charge and has negligible mass?
- A.the electron
- B.the proton
- C.the neutron
- D.the nucleus
Answer: A. the electron
Going back to the NCERT chapter, Apply Newton's second law F = m*a, which links force, mass and acceleration; substitute the given numerical values into this relation => the unknown reduces to a single number; hence the required answer = the electron. That fits the listed correct option directly - Correct. Looking at the others: option B) 'the proton' doesn't hold - The proton is positively charged, not negative; option C) 'the neutron' doesn't hold - The neutron has no charge. Hence the answer is A) the electron.
Q3. Which combination correctly lists the relative charges of proton, neutron and electron?
- A.+1, 0, -1
- B.-1, 0, +1
- C.0, +1, -1
- D.+1, -1, 0
Answer: A. +1, 0, -1
