B) hydrogen atom
C) proton
D) neutron
E) gold atom

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The uncertainty principle states that the uncertainty in position and momentum is inversely related. Larger particles, like a gold atom, have more mass, leading to smaller uncertainties in velocity and position compared to smaller particles like electrons.
