which of the following correctly describes the location of protons and electrons in an atom?
both protons and electrons orbit the nucleus
protons and electrons are both located in the nucleus
protons orbit the nucleus, and electrons are located in the nucleus
protons are in the nucleus, and electrons orbit the nucleus

multiple choice 1 point
which of the following describes a nonpolar covalent bond?
electrons are transferred between atoms
the bond is formed between ions
electrons are shared unequally between atoms
electrons are shared equally between atoms

Explanation:

1. In an atom, protons are located in the nucleus and electrons orbit the nucleus. This is a fundamental concept of atomic structure.
2. A non - polar covalent bond is characterized by equal sharing of electrons between atoms. In polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared unequally, electrons are transferred in ionic bonds (formed between ions), not in covalent bonds.

Answer:

1. Protons are in the nucleus, and electrons orbit the nucleus
2. Electrons are shared equally between atoms
