Describe the modern model of the atom. Your discussion should include: the three main types of particles that make up an atom; t
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The modern model of the atom sees it as <u>a small structure with a dense, positively charged core called nucleus</u>. The nucleus houses most of the masses of the atom and consists of the proton and the neutron. The positively charged proton is primarily responsible for the positiveness of the nucleus. At some distance away from the nucleus is a light, negatively charged particle called the electron that revolves around the nucleus in an orbit-like fashion .  

For a neutral atom, the number of the positively charged proton balances that of the negatively charged electron which circulate rounds the nucleus. Atoms in which these two particles do not balance each other are no longer described as being neutral.

Carbon is present in the atmosphere as ________.
densk [106]

Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon is present in both the hydrosphere and the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). This compound is derived from the combustion of plant remains and the respiration of plants and animals. CO2 is absorbed by chlorophyllated plants and chemosynthesizing bacteria and is used to form carbonated organic compounds (cellulose and starch).

Part of this gas returns directly to the atmosphere by breathing in the plant. The plants are ingested by the animals. From the combustion of these foods in the animals' organism, CO2 returns to the atmosphere, or when these animals die, it will be part of the organic debris that, due to the death of chlorophyllated vegetables and bacteria, will form vegetable debris, which upon combustion will return the CO2 to the atmosphere.
