Given information

Given statements :

a. Protons and electrons have charges of the same magnitude but opposite sign.

b. Protons have about the same mass as neutrons.

c. Some atoms don’t have any protons.

d. Protons and neutrons have charges of the same magnitude but opposite sign.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The atoms are made up of subatomic particles. The subatomic particles that constitute the atom are electrons, protons, and neutrons.

a. Protons and electrons have charges of the same magnitude but opposite signs.

Reason:

Charge of protons =    

Charge of electrons =  

Hence the magnitude of charges of protons and electrons are the same with opposite signs.

Statement "a. Protons and electrons have charges of the same magnitude but opposite sign." is True.
