Complete the table by typing "yes" or "no" in the given fields.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline Particle & Charge & Location & Approximate mass (amu) & Made of quarks? \\
\hline Proton & +1 & Nucleus & 1 & A \\
\hline Neutron & 0 & Nucleus & 1 & B \\
\hline Electron & -1 & Orbitals & 0 & C \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

A = [your answer]
B = [your answer]
C = [your answer]



Answer :

To complete the table summarizing the properties of different subatomic particles, we need to determine whether each particle (proton, neutron, and electron) is made of quarks. Here are the given details:

- A proton has a charge of +1, is located in the nucleus, has an approximate mass of 1 amu, and is [tex]$A$[/tex].
- A neutron has no charge, is located in the nucleus, has an approximate mass of 1 amu, and is [tex]$B$[/tex].
- An electron has a charge of -1, is located in the orbitals, has an approximate mass of 0 amu, and is [tex]$C$[/tex].

Based on the known properties of these particles:
- Protons are made of quarks.
- Neutrons are made of quarks.
- Electrons are not made of quarks.

Thus, we can fill in the table as follows:
- [tex]$A = \text{"yes"}$[/tex]
- [tex]$B = \text{"yes"}$[/tex]
- [tex]$C = \text{"no"}$[/tex]

Let's rewrite the table with the completed entries:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline Particle & Charge & Location & \begin{tabular}{c}
Approximate \\
mass (amu)
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Made of \\
quarks?
\end{tabular} \\
\hline Proton & +1 & Nucleus & 1 & yes \\
\hline Neutron & 0 & Nucleus & 1 & yes \\
\hline Electron & -1 & Orbitals & 0 & no \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
