- 1. proton.
- 2. neutron.
- 3. electron.
-
- #29
- M:3 3
- <
- Electrons move around the nucleus of
- atoms at very high speeds. This is why
- an electron at rest weighs less than
- an electron that is moving (actually
- there is no such thing as an electron
- that is not moving). If an electron
- were, however, to stop moving, how
- much would it weigh?
- >
- 1. 0.0001 gram.
- 2. 0.0000000000000001 gram.
