A student drew a diagram of the quantum model of an atom, as shown. A small circle is shown. Six light gray spheres and six dark

gray spheres are shown inside the circle. On the outer side of the circle is a diffused shaded circular region. This diffused shaded circular region has two distinct bands of dark gray shading in it. Which of the following explains if the student's diagram is correct or incorrect? The diagram is incorrect because electrons follow orbital rings around the nucleus. The diagram is incorrect because there is only a single type of particle at the center of the atom. The diagram is correct because electrons are present in a negatively charged cloud outside the nucleus. The diagram is correct because all electrons can be accommodated in two electron clouds around the nucleus.

Answer:

The diagram is incorrect because there is only a single type of particle at the center of the atom.

Explanation:

The small circle at the centre of the sphere which contains six light gray spheres and six dark gray spheres represents the nucleus of the atom which is found at the centre of the atom.

The nucleus contains only one type of particle which is the proton. Hence the representation of two particles at the centre of the circle makes the model incorrect.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

<em>Protons: </em>

  • Positively charged particle
  • The number of these is the atomic number
  • All atoms of a given element have the same number of these

<em>Neutrons:  </em>

  • Neutral particles  
  • Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these
  • The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons

Explanation:

Protons (<em>positively charged</em>), neutrons (<em>neutral</em>) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles.  The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.

The <em>Atomic number</em> (Z) indicates the number of protons (P^{+}) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the <em>same atomic number</em>, thus the <em>same number of protons</em>.

The <em>mass number </em>(A) is the sum of the <em>number of protons</em>  (P^{+}) <em>and neutrons</em> (N) that are present in the nucleus: <em>A= Z + N</em>

<em>Isotopes</em> are atoms of the <em>same element </em>which nucleus have the <em>same atomic number</em> (Z), and <em>different mass number (A)</em>, it means the <em>same number of protons</em> (P^{+}) and a <em>different number of neutrons</em> (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:

99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8

0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9

0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10

A runner travels at a constant speed of 4 m/s. What happens to the velocity of the runner when the runner changes direction?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

4m/s in the direction of the turn

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference.

Assuming the runner stays the same speed as he turns, his velocity will be 4m/s in the speed he turns.
