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

    A)  \[e<p<n<\alpha \]   

    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 \[n<\alpha <p<e\]
