Mike is drawing a model of an atom. He will draw the electron cloud first, and then he will draw the nucleus. Where will he draw
the nucleus of the atom? Group of answer choices on the outer edge of the electron cloud among the electrons in the electron cloud in the center of the atom, surrounded by the electron cloud between the center of the atom and the electron cloud
in the center of the atom, surrounded by the electron cloud
Explanation:
The nucleus is found at the center of the atom. It houses the neutrons and protons.
If Mike intends to draw a proper model of the atom, then he must draw the nucleus at the center of the model surrounded by the electron cloud. This is in accordance with Rutherford's nuclear theory of the atom.
