Question 3 • Physics

Four students made a graphic organizer describing the parts of the atom. Which table best describes the parts of the atom?

Answer

Table with 3 columns and 4 rows.Row 1: Column 1, 'Particle'; Column 2, 'Charge'; Column 3, 'Location' Row 2: Column 1, 'Proton'; Column 2, 'negative'; Column 3, 'inside nucleus' Row 3: Column 1, 'Electron'; Column 2, '0'; Column 3, 'outside nucleus' Row 4: Column 1, 'Neutron'; Column 2, 'negative'; Column 3, 'inside nucleus'

Explanation

Protons have a positive charge and are located inside the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge and are outside the nucleus, while neutrons have no charge and are inside the nucleus. Choice C lists all three particles with the correct charge and location.
