choose the correct answer

Answer 1

Here are the answers to each of the statements:

1. Electrons are negative. **True**
2. Electrons are found in the nucleus. **False**
3. Protons and electrons have the same mass. **False**
4. Most of the mass of an atom is in the electron cloud. **False**
5. Neutrons are negatively charged. **False**
6. The electron is the smallest of the three subatomic particles. **True**
7. The center of the atom is the nucleus. **True**
8. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. **True**
9. Neutrons have no charge. **True**
10. Protons have a positive charge. **True**
11. The nucleus takes up most of the space in an atom. **False**
12. Neutrons and protons have the same mass. **True (they have very similar masses, but neutrons are slightly more massive)**

So the complete set of answers is:
1. True
2. False
3. False
4. False
5. False
6. True
7. True
