Question

Roberto creates an animation titled “Flying through an Atom.” The animation makes it seem as if the viewer passes all the way through an atom, starting from one side, then through the atom’s center, and then leaving through the other side.

What is the best description of the order of events in the animation

A.The viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the protons, and then the nucleus.
B.The viewer travels through the nucleus, then the electron cloud, and then the nucleus again.
C.The viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the neutrons, and then the protons.
D.The viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the nucleus, and then the electron cloud again.

Answer 1

Answer is: D.The viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the nucleus, and then the electron cloud again.

Atom is composed of the nucleus and the electron cloud.

Protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) are in the nucleus of an atom and electrons (negative particles) are in the electron cloud.

Nucleus is in the centar of the atom atom and electron cloud is surrounding it.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "D.The viewer travels through the electron cloud, then the nucleus, and then the electron cloud again."

Explanation:

According to Rutherford's atomic model most of the atom is empty and a small portion of the atom is occupied by the nucleus at the center. Most of the atoms' mass is occupied in a small volume, making the nucleus of the atom very dense. The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. The remaining space of the atom outside the nucleus is made up of electrons. The electrons are diffused and spread out in 3 dimensions.
