Explanation:

Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.

Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;

He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.

Which of these illustration shows isotopes of the elements boron b

Delvig [45]

The isotopes are elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Boron atomic number is 5. That is the number of protons.

The natural occurring isotopes of boron contain 5 or 6 neutrons. Other, non stable isotopes, contain from 1 to 16 neutrons.

When a nitrogen atom becomes an ion, the atom becomes a... A. Negative ion with a radius smaller than the radius of the atom B.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

B. Negative ion with a radius larger than the radius of the atom

Explanation:

When a negative ion is formed, electrons are added to the atom. As electrons are added to the atom, the size of the electron cloud increases accordingly.

As a result of this, a negative ion is always larger than its corresponding atom. Hence, nitrogen ion must be larger than the nitrogen atom based on the facts stated above.
