In response to a question, a student stated that in an atom, the number of protons is greater than the number of neutrons, which in turn is greater than the number of electrons. Do you agree with the statement? Justify your answer.
Student is giving wrong statement. Number of protons can never be more than that of neutrons. It can be equal to or less than the number of neutrons. Number of electrons and protons is always equal in an atom.
