The statement that describes the distribution of charge in an atom is   \boxed{\left({\text{3}}\right){\text{ A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons}}}

Further explanation:

The smallest particle that is the building block of matter is known as an atom. Most of the space in an atom is empty, and its mass is concentrated inside a small region called the nucleus.

Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the three subatomic particles that are present in the atom. The sum of protons and neutrons are called nucleons because these are located in the nucleus of the atom. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in definite orbits. The positively charged subatomic particle is called proton. Neutron is a subatomic particle that has no charge. Electron is the negatively charged subatomic particle. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.

As we know, the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged whereas neutrons are neutral and therefore the overall charge on the nucleus becomes positive. Electrons are negatively charged species. These revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits. So a positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons. Hence statement (3) is correct, and the statement (1), (2) and (4) are incorrect.

The correct answer is:

A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons

The explanation:

when:

proton is a positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei.

neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen. The particle derives its name from the fact that it has no electrical charge

electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nucleus of an atom .  

so, , there are positively charged protons and zero-charged neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, the nucleus is positively charged, Surrounding the nucleus, the electrons have negative charge. 

Thus, the correct answer is (3): A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons is correct.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP- In the solid state, how does Water compare to Neon and Argon? Why do you think they act differently?
alekssr [168]
Neon and Argon are known as the noble gases. This means that there inert and don’t typically react. The noble gases have full outer shells and therefore satisfy the octet rule. Hydrogen, on the other hand, must lose an electron to become stable. That is why it reacts.

stbank, Question 075 Get help answering Molecular Drawing questions. Compound A, C6H12 reacts with HBr/ROOR to give compound B,
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case we want to know the structures of A (C6H12), B (C6H13Br) and C (C6H14).

A and C reacts with two differents reagents and conditions, however both of them gives the same product.

Let's analyze each reaction.

First, C6H12 has the general formula of an alkene or cycloalkane. However, when we look at the reagents, which are HBr in ROOR, and the final product, we can see that this is an adition reaction where the H and Br were added to a molecule, therefore we can conclude that the initial reactant is an alkene. Now, what happens next? A is reacting with HBr. In general terms when we have an adition of a molecule to a reactant like HBr (Adding electrophyle and nucleophyle) this kind of reactions follows the markonikov's rule that states that the hydrogen will go to the carbon with more hydrogens, and the nucleophyle will go to the carbon with less hydrogen (Atom that can be stabilized with charge). But in this case, we have something else and is the use of the ROOR, this is a peroxide so, instead of follow the markonikov rule, it will do the opposite, the hydrogen to the more substituted carbon and the bromine to the carbon with more hydrogens. This is called the antimarkonikov rule. Picture attached show the possible structure for A. The alkene would have to be the 1-hexene.

Now in the second case we have C, reacting with bromine in light to give also B. C has the formula C6H14 which is the formula for an alkane and once again we are having an adition reaction. In this case, conditions are given to do an adition reaction in an alkane. bromine in presence of light promoves the adition of the bromine to the molecule of alkane. In this case it can go to the carbon with more hydrogen or less hydrogens, but it will prefer the carbon with more hydrogens. In this case would be the terminal hydrogens of the molecules. In this case, it will form product B again. the alkane here would be the hexane. See picture for structures.
