Two different sub-atomic particles are described below: particle x: carries a negative charge particle y: attracts particle x which statement is true? a. x is a neutron and y is an electron b. x is a neutron and y is a proton c. x is a proton and y is an electron d. x is an electron and y is a proton

Option D

Explanation:

Option A and B is not correct because a neutron is a negatively charged sub atomic particle while in the question it is given that X carry negative charge

On the other hand proton is a positively charged particle with a charge of +1

And it will be attracted towards a negatively charged particle only. Hence, option C is also in correct

X being negatively charged can be an electron which has a charge of -1. Since it is negatively charged, it is easily attracted towards a positively charged particle i.e proton.  

Hence, option D is correct
