Question

Write down the names of the particles represented by the following symbols and explain the meaning of superscript and subscript numbers attached.

${}_{1}H^{1}, {}_{0}n^{1}, {}_{- 1}e^{0}$

Accepted Answer

The symbol ${}_{1}H^{1}, {}_{0}n^{1}, {}_{- 1}e^{0}$ represents the sub-atomic particle proton found in the nucleus of an atom. Here, the superscript represents the mass of a proton and the subscript represents the charge of a proton. From the symbol, we can say that a proton is positively charged sub-atomic particle.

The symbol ${}_{0}n^{1}$ represents the sub-atomic particle neutron found in the nucleus of an atom. Here, the superscript represents the mass of a neutron and the subscript represents the charge of a neutron. From the symbol, we can say that neutron is a neutral sub-atomic particle.

The symbol ${}_{- 1}e^{0}$ represents the sub-atomic particle electron found in the nucleus of an atom. Here, the superscript represents the mass of an electron (the mass of an electron is negligible) and the subscript represents the charge of an electron. From the symbol, we can say that an electron is a negatively charged sub-atomic particle.

Write down the names of the particles represented by the following symbols and explain the meaning of superscript and subscript numbers attached.

${}_{1}H^{1}, {}_{0}n^{1}, {}_{- 1}e^{0}$
