Answer:

The Atomic Number of the atom of an element whose model is given is "8" that is option no. 'C' in the question.

Explanation:

An Atom comprises of 3 basic structures that are Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. The central part is the Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons having positive charge and no charge respectively. The electrons are revolving around the nucleus in electronic shells having the negative charge.

<u><em>ATOMIC NUMBER: </em></u>

Atomic number is the number of protons present inside the nucleus of an atom and it determines the place of that particular atom in the <u>Periodic Table.</u>

In the model, given in the question, the nucleus contains 2 types of balls dark gray colored and light gray colored. The key at the bottom shows the dark gray colored ball as having a positive charge and thus it represents the atomic number for the given atom of element which is <u><em>EIGHT (8).</em></u>

So, the atomic number for the given atom is 8 which is element OXYGEN.

What is nuclear fission
swat32
Nuclear fission is the process of which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy and neutron. In simpler words, nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is split into two smaller fragments or pieces (nuclei) and so energy and neutrons are released. The resulting pieces of this fission process have less combined mass than the original piece (nucleus) and the missing was is converted into nuclear energy.
