In a computer simulation, two identical particles are added to a neutral atom. Each particle is either a proton or an electron.
After the particles are added, the relative mass of the atom has increased by 21840\displaystyle \frac{2}{1840}18402.
Which gives the particles added and the relative charge of the atom afterwards?
Two protons; relative charge +2+2+2
Two protons; relative charge −2-2−2
Two electrons; relative charge −2-2−2
Two electrons; relative charge +2+2+2
