The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the information provided in Table 1, here are the answers to your questions, followed by a detailed explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arrangement of subatomic particles in increasing mass:<\/strong>
Electron < Proton < Neutron<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1.<\/strong> The electron<\/strong> is the lightest subatomic particle.
Q2.<\/strong> The neutron<\/strong> is the heaviest subatomic particle.
Q3.<\/strong> The proton<\/strong> and the neutron<\/strong> have almost the same mass.
Q4.<\/strong> The proton has a positive charge (+1), the electron has a negative charge (-1) of equal magnitude, and the neutron has no charge (0).
Q5.<\/strong> The protons and neutrons<\/strong> make up most of the mass of the atom.
Q6.<\/strong> The particles that account for:
a) the charge of the nucleus are the protons<\/strong>.
b) the mass of the nucleus are the protons and neutrons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation of Atomic Structure and Properties<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An atom, the fundamental unit of a chemical element, is composed of three primary subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The distinct properties of these particles\u2014namely their mass, charge, and location\u2014determine the characteristics of an atom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
