    The increasing order for the value of charge/mass for electron (e), proton (p), neutron (n) and alpha particle \[(\alpha )\] is:

    A) \[e<p<n<a\]   

    B)        \[~n<p<e<\alpha \]

    C) \[n<p<\alpha <e\]  

    D)        \[n<\alpha <p<e\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Find e/m (charge/mass) of all the given particles and then arrange them in given order. (i) e/m of electron \[=\frac{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{9.1\times {{10}^{-28}}}=0.175\times {{10}^{9}}\] (ii) e/m of proton\[=\frac{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{1.673\times {{10}^{-24}}}={{10}^{5}}\] (iii) e/m of neutron\[=\frac{0}{1.673\times {{10}^{-24}}}=0\] (iv) e/m of \[\alpha -\]particle \[=\frac{2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{4\times 1.67\times {{10}^{-24}}}=0.5\times {{10}^{5}}\] \[\therefore \] The correct order is \[n<\alpha <p<e\]
