A particle having almost zero mass and exactly zero charge is
- positron
- electron
- neutron
- neutrino
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Electron is a particle which has - $e$ charge and $9.1 \times 10^{-31} kg$ mass.
Neutron is a particle which has zero charge and $1838 m_{e}$ mass.
So, the required answer is neutrino.
Top Questions on Nuclear physics
- Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The binding energy per nucleon is found to be practically independent of the atomic number \( A \), for nuclei with mass numbers between 30 and 170.

Concepts Used:
Nuclear Physics
Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies atomic nuclei and their constituents and interactions, in addition to the study of other forms of nuclear matter. Nuclear physics should not be confused with atomic physics, which studies the atom as a whole, including its electrons
Radius of Nucleus
‘R’ represents the radius of the nucleus. R = RoA1/3
Where,
- Ro is the proportionality constant
- A is the mass number of the element
Total Number of Protons and Neutrons in a Nucleus
The mass number (A), also known as the nucleon number, is the total number of neutrons and protons in a nucleus.
A = Z + N
Where, N is the neutron number, A is the mass number, Z is the proton number
Mass Defect
Mass defect is the difference between the sum of masses of the nucleons (neutrons + protons) constituting a nucleus and the rest mass of the nucleus and is given as:
Δm = Zmp + (A - Z) mn - M
Where Z = atomic number, A = mass number, mp = mass of 1 proton, mn = mass of 1 neutron and M = mass of nucleus.
