Answer:
Explanation:
Which of the following statements about the structure of an atoms TRUE? A.the number of protons is always equal to the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom B.the electrons are found in the nucleus of the atom C.the nucleus contains protons and neutrons D. the protons revolve at high speeds around the nucleus of the atom
Of the following statements about the structure of an atom, the following are true:
A. The number of protons is always equal to the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom (this is not necessarily true. The number of protons and neutrons can be different, although the number of protons is generally equal to the atomic number of the element, which determines its identity).
C. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons (this is true).
D. The protons revolve at high speeds around the nucleus of the atom (this is not true. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, while electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus).
B. The electrons are found in the nucleus of the atom (this is not true. Electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus).
