Asked by Someone__:)
Linda compared the masses of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. She converted the mass of each one of them into kilograms using a calculator. The calculator then displayed the following numbers: 1.672E−27 (mass of a proton), 1.675E−27 (mass of a neutron), and 9.109E−31 (mass of an electron). Linda arranged the particles from lightest to heaviest. Which is the correct arrangement of these subatomic particles according to their mass?(1 point)

To arrange the subatomic particles from lightest to heaviest, we need to compare their masses:
- Mass of the electron: \(9.109 \times 10^{-31}\) kg
- Mass of the proton: \(1.672 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
- Mass of the neutron: \(1.675 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
Now, we can compare the numbers:
1. Electron: \(9.109 \times 10^{-31}\) kg
2. Proton: \(1.672 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
3. Neutron: \(1.675 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
Since \(9.109 \times 10^{-31}\) is the smallest, followed by \(1.672 \times 10^{-27}\), then \(1.675 \times 10^{-27}\), the correct arrangement from lightest to heaviest is:
**Electron < Proton < Neutron**.
- Mass of the electron: \(9.109 \times 10^{-31}\) kg
- Mass of the proton: \(1.672 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
- Mass of the neutron: \(1.675 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
Now, we can compare the numbers:
1. Electron: \(9.109 \times 10^{-31}\) kg
2. Proton: \(1.672 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
3. Neutron: \(1.675 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
Since \(9.109 \times 10^{-31}\) is the smallest, followed by \(1.672 \times 10^{-27}\), then \(1.675 \times 10^{-27}\), the correct arrangement from lightest to heaviest is:
**Electron < Proton < Neutron**.
