Question

A students drawing of a nitrogen atom is shown. What change would make the model more accurate?

Answer 1

Answer:

C - show 7 neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

Use process of elimination:

-Answer A will not work because electrons are not in the nucleus.

-Answer B will change the atom's identity from nitrogen to fluorine; it will not work.

-Answer D will create a nitrogen ion, which is not what the prompt is asking for (an atom); it will not work.

The only logical answer is C, as that is the only one that is also true.
