Which of the following statements about subatomic particles is correct?

Accepted Answer

Hello. In this problem, we are asked to identify the incorrect statement about subatomic particles. So looking at what we were provided the first one A says all neutral atoms have protons and electrons. That is true. The next one B says protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass. That's true. They're both approximately one atomic mass unit. Next one C says all atoms consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. So this is not true. So we have um hydrogen, which exists says Prodi um So this is an isotope of hydrogen. It has one proton and it has one electron but it has zero neutrons and the last one says protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges. That is also correct. So the incorrect statement then about subatomic particles is C. Thanks for watching. Hope this helped.
