Answer: option (1) an electron.
Justification:
1) The plum pudding model of the atom conceived by the scientist J.J. Thompson, described the atom as a solid sphere positively charged with the electrons (particles negatively charged) embedded.
2) The next model of the atom, developed by the scientist Ernest Rutherford, depicted the atom a mostly empty space with a small dense positively charged nucleous and the electrons surrounding it.
3) Then, Niels Bhor came out with the model of electrons in fixed orbits around the nucleous, just like the planets orbit the Sun. So, the path followed by the electrons were orbits.
4) The quantum model of the atom did not place the electrons in fixed orbits around the nucleous but in regions around the nucleous. Those regions were named orbitals. And they are regions were it is most probable to find the electron, since it is not possible to tell the exact position of an electron.
As per this model, the electron has a wave function associated. The scientist Schrodinger developed the wave equation which predicts the location of the electron as a probability.
The orbitals are those regions were it is most likely to find the electron. Those regions are thought as clouds of electrons.

Answer:
Explanation:
The changes in properties from metals to non-metals on a periodic table can be measured and determined by the metallicity or electropositivity of elements.
Metallicity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.
a.
Down a periodic group, metallicity increases.
b.
Across a period from left to right electropositivity or metallicity decreases.
Metals are found in the left part of periodic table and the most reactive metal sits in the lower left corner. Non-metals are towards the right side of the table.
