Three different sub-atomic particles are described below: Particle X: Uncharged Particle Y: Carries positive charge Particle Z: Orbits the nucleus Which statement is true? X is a neutron, Y is an electron, and Z is a proton. X is a neutron, Y is a proton, and Z is an electron. X is a proton, Y is an electron, and Z is a neutron. X is an electron, Y is a proton, and Z is a neutron.

Neutrons have no electric charge,protons are positively charged while electrons are negatively charged.
Both neutrons and proton are located in the nucleus while electrons are located outside the nucleus.
since electrons are located outside the nucleus they orbit around the nucleus.

Neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom except in the nucleus of hydrogen. Since it does not have any charge and it is a neutral atom it is known as neutron. Neutron has a symbol n or [tex]n^{0}[/tex]. The mass of single atom is [tex]1.6*10^{-27}[/tex],. Proton is also a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom with the symbol p or [tex]p^{+}[/tex]. Proton carries positive charge. Electron is the subatomic particle which revolves round the nucleus and it carries negative charge.

Therefore the answer is X is neutron since it is an uncharged particle Y is a proton since it carries positive charge and Z is an electron since it revolves round the nucleus or orbits the nucleus.
