Question

by taking this checkpoint, you will check your understanding of the concepts youve been working on i take the checkpoint multiple times. only your highest score will be recorded in the gradebook. if yo time, go back and review the lesson activities you struggled with before taking the checkpoint again. as assistance if you need extra help.
good luck!
note: to answer some of the questions, it may help to reference a periodic table .
which statements accurately describe how the electrostatic forces of protons and electrons work within an atom?
(select all that apply.)
particles with opposite charges are attracted to each other.
particles with the same charge repel each other.
particles with opposite charges repel each other.
particles with the same charge are attracted to each other.
question 2
question 3
question 4
question 5
question 6
question 7
question 8

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the basic principles of electrostatic forces: opposite charges (proton is positive, electron is negative) attract, and like charges repel. So "Particles with opposite charges are attracted to each other" is correct because protons (+) and electrons (-) have opposite charges and attract. "Particles with the same charge repel each other" is correct (e.g., two protons or two electrons repel). The other two options are incorrect as they contradict these principles.

Answer:

• Particles with opposite charges are attracted to each other.
• Particles with the same charge repel each other.
