Question 7 • Physical Science

What do an electron and a neutron have in common?

Answer
A
Each particle has a mass of 1 amu.
B
Each particle is located in the nucleus.
C
Each particle exists inside an atom.
D
Each particle has an electrical charge.

Explanation

Both electrons and neutrons are particles found in atoms, so “Each particle exists inside an atom” is the shared property. A neutron is in the nucleus, but an electron is outside it, so A is not true of both. Electrons are negatively charged while neutrons have no electrical charge, and their masses are not both 1 amu.
