The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "The mass of an electron is about (1/2000) times that of a proton" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Mass of an Electron and Proton - The mass of an electron is approximately \(9.10938 \times 10^{-31}\) kg. - The mass of a proton is approximately \(1.6726 \times 10^{-27}\) kg. ### Step 2: Calculate the Ratio of the Masses - To find out how many times the mass of an electron is compared to the mass of a proton, we can set up the ratio: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Mass of Electron}}{\text{Mass of Proton}} = \frac{9.10938 \times 10^{-31}}{1.6726 \times 10^{-27}} \] ### Step 3: Perform the Calculation - Performing the division: \[ \text{Ratio} \approx \frac{9.10938}{1.6726} \times 10^{-31 + 27} = \frac{9.10938}{1.6726} \times 10^{-4} \] - This gives us approximately: \[ \text{Ratio} \approx 0.00544 \text{ (or about } \frac{1}{1836} \text{)} \] ### Step 4: Compare with the Given Statement - The statement claims that the mass of the electron is about \( \frac{1}{2000} \) times that of the proton. - Since \( \frac{1}{1836} \) is not equal to \( \frac{1}{2000} \), the statement is not accurate. ### Conclusion - Therefore, the statement "The mass of an electron is about (1/2000) times that of a proton" is **False (F)**. ---
