Question

spend a few minutes exploring the model (feel free to play a bit!) paying attention to how each change you make affects the atom. then, answer the following questions: questions: 1. what different kinds of \particles\ do you have as building materials for an atom? (1 point) ☐ bosons ☐ automitons ☐ positrons ☐ neutrons ☐ electrons ☐ protons 2. where are you able to place these different particles? (1 point) nucleus (inside of atom) energy levels (outer rings) dashed boxes and particle labels below

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the building particles of an atom, we recall atomic structure: atoms are made of protons, neutrons (in the nucleus), and electrons (orbiting the nucleus). Bosons are a broader particle class, automitons are not atomic particles, and positrons are antimatter counterparts (not primary building blocks of a normal atom). So the correct particles are neutrons, electrons, protons.

In atomic structure, protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus (the central part of the atom). Electrons are located in energy levels (or electron shells) that surround the nucleus. So protons and neutrons go in the "Nucleus (inside of atom)" box, and electrons go in the "Energy Levels (outer rings)" box.

Answer:

• neutrons
• electrons
• protons
