Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the properties of a neutron
  • Symbol: \( n \)
  • Charge: 0 (neutrons are neutral)
  • Approximate mass: 1 amu
  • Location: In the nucleus
Step 2: Identify the properties of an electron
  • Symbol: \( e^{-} \)
  • Charge: -1 (electrons have a negative charge)
  • Approximate mass: \(\sim 0 \) amu (very small compared to protons and neutrons)
  • Location: Outside the nucleus (in electron cloud)
Step 3: Identify the properties of a proton
  • Symbol: \( p \)
  • Charge: +1 (protons have a positive charge)
  • Approximate mass: 1 amu
  • Location: In the nucleus

Final Answer

  • Neutron: Symbol \( n \), Charge \( 0 \), Approximate mass \( 1 \) amu, Location: In the nucleus
  • Electron: Symbol \( e^{-} \), Charge \( -1 \), Approximate mass \( \sim 0 \) amu, Location: Outside the nucleus
  • Proton: Symbol \( p \), Charge \( +1 \), Approximate mass \( 1 \) amu, Location: In the nucleus
