Question
If the volume of a proton were similar to the volume of an electron, how will the densities of these two particles compare to each other?
Step 1
First, we need to know the mass and volume of both particles. The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kg, while the mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kg. The volume of a proton is approximately 1.5 x 10^-45 m^3, and we are assuming the Show more…
