Question: Use data from Table 2.1 to verify that (a) The mass of electrons is about 1/2000 that of H atoms; (b) The mass-to-charge ratio (m/e)
Use data from Table 2.1 to verify that
(a) The mass of electrons is about 1/2000 that of H atoms;
(b) The mass-to-charge ratio (m/e) for positive ions is considerably larger than that for electrons.
