Question

A subatomic particle having a unit positive charge and a mass of $1.66\times {10}^{-24}\mathrm{g}$ is called _________.

Answer 1

• The production of cathode rays revealed that all atoms contain electrons, which are negatively charged particles.
• Because an atom is electrically neutral, it must contain some positively charged particles to counteract the electrons' negative charge.
• Experiments have discovered that all atoms contain positively charged particles known as protons.
• E. Goldstein demonstrated the existence of protons in atoms.
• The relative proton's charge is equal to +1.
• The absolute mass of the proton is $1.6\times {10}^{–24}\mathrm{g}$.
• A subatomic particle having a unit positive charge and a mass of $1.66\times {10}^{-24}\mathrm{g}$ is called Protons.
