A electron is a subatomic particle outside the nucleus carrying a negative charge and very little mass. Other mass is negligible mass or a negative charge.

Which subatomic particle of the atom in a molecule interacts with photons?

Almost all atomic interaction with photons occurs with the atom's electrons.


Why is the wave particle duality ignored in everyday life?

Wave particle duality is almost ignored in everyday life mainly because the reactions involved especially with light is so miniscule that it only occurs in special situations and is hardly noticeable


Why are alpha particle tracks observed in a cloud chamber much shorter than beta particle tracks though they emerge from a radioactive sample with almost the same speed?

Alpha particles have a mass of about 4 and a charge of +2, while beta particles have a mass of about 5x10-4 and a charge of -1. As such, the alpha particle interacts much more easily than the beta particle, and spends its energy more quickly.


What is the evidence for quarks?

Every particle that should exist if quarks are real has been found. No particle that should not exist if quarks are real has ever been found. The results of in-elastic scattering between hadrons fits perfectly with quark. The hypothesis of charm quarks predicted experimental results that were almost perfectly replicated with the discovery of the psi-particle. In other words, the quark hypothesis matches observation perfectly. That's about as strong of evidence as can exist.


The mass of a neutron is nearly equal to the mass of what other subatomic particle?

No, an alpha particle is the nucleus of a normal helium atom - 2 protons + 2 neutrons. Therefore, an alpha particle has approximately 4 times the mass of a proton or neutron.No, an alpha particle is the nucleus of a normal helium atom - 2 protons + 2 neutrons.

What kind of charge does a neuton have?

Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons are also called "subatomic particles." A neutron is a subatomic particle that has a mass that is ALMOST equal to the mass of a proton. A neutron carries no electric charge; so it is neither positive or negative. It carries a "neutral" charge. So remember, NEUtrons--->NEUtral.

How is heat transferred by infrared radiation?

It is the radiation itself that transfers the heat energy in this case. Infrared is almost exactly the same thing as visible light (simply of a different frequencies); each photon (light particle) carries part of the energy.
