Hello!

The atomic number is determined only by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. But, in a neutral atom it also represents the number of electrons in the electron cloud.


Neutrons are only important in the nucleus for helping us find atomic weight, which varies as we move along the perodic table and does not always equal the same amount of it's atomic number. Which is why it would not be a suitable answer for the first blank space. Electrons do not work either as they do not exist inside the nucleus but rather outside the atom.

The second space, since it states is in the electron cloud, we can deduct that electrons would be an appropriate answer there.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask, but I hope this answers your question.

What geologic processes are happening in the Lassen Volcanic National Park? Is it still being built up or taken away?
JulsSmile [24]

In May 1915, Lassen Peak, California, the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range, erupted explosively. Avalanches, mudflows, and flows of hot ash and gas devastated nearby areas, and volcanic ash fell as far away as 200 miles to the east. The Lassen area remains volcanically active, and the volcano hazards demonstrated in 1915 still can threaten not only nearby areas but also more distant communities. Recent work by scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the National Park Service is shedding new light on these hazards.


hope this helps!
