Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

negative, positive and neutral

Solution :

The correct option is negative, positive and neutral.

Subatomic particles are the fundamental components that form an atom. They are characterized by their respective electrical charges:
1. Electron: Electrons orbit the atomic nucleus and carry a negative electric charge.
2. Proton: Protons are located within the atomic nucleus and carry a positive electric charge.
3. Neutron: Neutrons are also located within the atomic nucleus but carry no net electric charge, making them electrically neutral.

Thus, taken respectively in the order of electron, proton, and neutron, the signs of their charges are negative, positive and neutral.
