In the atom, which particles are in constant motion around the nucleus?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

According to the modern atomic theory, atoms are made-up of smaller subatomic particles in the nucleus. The nucleus contains two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons. The protons have a positively electrical charge and the neutrons have no charge. The electrons have a negative electrical charge and are able to move around the nucleus. An atom usually contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. This makes the atom itself electrically neutral. The electrons exist at different energy levels, called shells, around the nucleus where they revolve freely in a constant motion.

yarga [219]

Answer:

D. hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Explanation:

We know that as we move <u>towards Earth's center</u>, the <u>temperature rises</u>. This rise in temperature causes rocks to melt (magma). The high temperature and melting of rocks <u>decrease the density of material </u>which makes it <u>move upward</u>. By <u>moving upward</u>, the molten rock <u>starts turning solid</u> and becomes <u>denser again</u>. Here, it <u>sinks back due to gravity</u>. This upward and downward movement of rocks due to density and temperature makes a convection cell.

PS: The formation of convection cells in Earth's interior is also the reason for plate tectonics.
