    B Electron, proton, hydrogen atom, alpha particle Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Hydrogen atom, proton, electron, alpha particle Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Alpha particle, proton, hydrogen atom, electron Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct order of increasing mass is:

    1. Electron: 9.1×10−31 kg
    2. Proton: 1.67×10−27 kg
    3. Hydrogen atom: Slightly more massive than a proton due to the addition of an electron.
