or

+4.8 x 10-10 esu

The charge of one proton is taken as unit positive charge (+1)

50
Q

Define

Unit positive Charge (+1)

A

The charge of one proton is taken as a unit positive charge.

+1.6 x 10-19 coulombs

or

+4.8 x 10-10 esu

51
Q

Define

Atomic mass unit

A

The mass of one proton is taken as 1 atomic mass unit (amu).

The mass of one proton is 1.67 x 10-27 kg.

52
Q

Short Q&A

1.67 x 10-27 kg is the weight of _________.

53
Q

Short Q&A

What is taken as a unit negative charge?

A

The charge of one electron is taken as one unit negative charge (-1).

1.6 x 10-19 coulombs

or

Short Q&A

What is the weight of an electron?

A

The weight of an electron is very negligible.

9.1 x 10-31 Kg is the weight of an electron i.e.

1/1837 times that of the proton.

56
Q

Define

Mass number

A

The mass number of an element indicates the sum of protons (p) and neutrons (n) present inside the nucleus.

The mass number is denoted by the symbol A

57
Q

Define

Atomic number

A

The number of protons present inside the nucleus is called the atomic number.

It is equal to the number of electrons in the atom.

The atomic number of an element is denoted by the symbol Z

58
Q
