Q. For the following statements, write T for True and F for False.
(a) J.J.Thomson proposed that the nucleus of an atom contains only nucleons.
(b) A neutron is formed by an electron and a proton combining together. Therefore, it is neutral.
(c) The mass of an electron is about 12000 times that of the proton.
(d) An isotope of iodine is used for making tincture iodine, which is used as a medicine.
