Question

Two different sub-atomic particles are described below:

Particle X: Carries a negative charge
Particle Y: Attracts Particle X

Which statement is true?
A. X is a neutron and Y is an electron
B. X is a neutron and Y is a proton
C. X is a proton and Y is an electron
D. X is an electron and Y is a proton

Answer 1

D is the correct answer hope this helps

Answer 2

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A and B is not correct because a neutron is a negatively charged sub atomic particle while in the question it is given that X carry negative charge

On the other hand proton is a positively charged particle with a charge of +1

And it will be attracted towards a negatively charged particle only. Hence, option C is also in correct

X being negatively charged can be an electron which has a charge of -1. Since it is negatively charged, it is easily attracted towards a positively charged particle i.e proton.

Hence, option D is correct
