ANSWER:Solution 98AQPThe goal of the problem is to identify the false statement and correct the statement.a. Given: The neutron is electrically neutral. Neutrons have zero charges or it has no charge. Hence neutrons are electrically neutral. Hence, the above statement is true. ________________b. Given: Most of the mass of an atom is due to the protons and neutrons The nucleus contributes the mass of the atom and the electrons revolve around the nucleus and they have the least mass. The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Hence,
