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)

Answer 1

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.
