If you count the number of electrons (small dots), you have the atomic number. In this case you have 11 so this atom is a sodium atom. Sodium has 1 valence electron (electron on the outer shell) and chlorine has 7. This means that if sodium gave one electron away and chlorine would obtain one electron, they would both have the (ideal) noble gas conformation (full outer shell).
Answer:
A (contains most of the mass of the atom)
Evidence has it that a proton is about 2000 times as massive as an electron.
And there is usually multiple protons and neutrons in the nucleus
From what I just said, you can say that B is wrong
C however is also wrong because protons have a +charge and neutrons are neutrle which means you always have a charge > (greater than) 0
And D is wrong because electrons (which are not in the nucleus) have a neg charge. and protons have a + charge and are in the nucleus
So your answer is A
Hope it helped

Whitecap waves are caused by the wind, while swells are caused by surface gravity.
C. alpha = nucleus of a helium atom
beta = electron
gamma = photon
