1 |
nucleus has protons (+) and neutrons (no charge) |
|
| 2. Which two particles each have a mass of
approximately one atomic mass unit? 1. an electron and a proton 2. an electron and a positron 3.a neutron and a proton
4. a neutron and a positron |
3 |
a neutron and a proton 1 u each
electron and
positron about 1/2000th u |

4. When a ground state electron in an atom moves to an excited state, the electron 1. absorbs energy as it moves to a higher energy state 2. absorbs energy as it moves to a lower energy state 3. releases energy as it moves to a higher energy state 4. releases energy as it moves to a lower energy state |
1 |
ground state is a the lower energy of an electron excited is higher energy put in (absorb) energy to get tot the excited state |
