Question

15 POINTS!!!!!! Which of the following statements does not describe the structure of an atom?

a)The electron cloud is a small and compacted space around the nucleus.
b)Inside the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons.
c) Protons are positively charged sub-atomic particles.
d)Electrons are negatively charged sub-atomic particles

Answer 1

The answer would be A because inside of an atom is protons and neutrons. Protons are + neutrons are neutral and electrons are -. The electron cloud is big not small.

Answer 2

Considering the definition of atom, the correct answer is option a): The electron cloud is a small and compacted space around the nucleus is false.

An atom is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided without losing its chemical properties.

The atom is made up of a nucleus and a crust. On the one hand, the nucleus is made up of neutrons, with a neutral charge, and protons, with a positive charge, and, on the other hand, the crust is made up of electrons, with a negative charge.

In other words, protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutrally charged) are grouped together in the atomic nucleus. For this reason they are also called nucleons. Around the nucleus are electrons whose electrical charge is negative.

If the number of protons and electrons is the same, it means that the atom is electrically neutral.

Finally, the correct answer is option a): The electron cloud is a small and compacted space around the nucleus is false.
