How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton? Use two significant figures.
How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton:
Here's one way of finding the value of it:
=> number of electrons is equivalent to 1 proton.
Let's have an example.
1.672610 -24g
_______________
1 proton
______________
9.10910- ^28g
_______________
1 electron
Based on the given example above, the electrons is 1 839 per 1 proton.
It's about 1800 electrons/proton.
Answer:
\(10^{3}\)
Explanation:
(i) The mass of an electron:
\(9.11*10^{-31}kg\)
(j) The mass of a proton:
\(1.67*10^{-27} kg\)
\(9.11*10^{-31}kg * x = 1.67*10^{-27} kg\)
\(x = 0.18 * 10^{4}\), then \(1.8*10^{3}\) or 1800
Here my answer is 10^3 because I expressed order of magnitude.
It's when we approximate to the nearest tenth power.
