Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following particles has the smallest mass?
  • Step 1: Understand that we are comparing the masses of different particles.
  • Step 2: Identify the particles we are comparing (e.g., electron, proton, neutron).
  • Step 3: Know the mass of a proton, which is the standard reference point.
  • Step 4: Learn that an electron's mass is about 1/1836 of a proton's mass.
  • Step 5: Compare the masses: protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the electron has the smallest mass among the particles listed.
