a) proton
b) molecule
c) atom
d) neutron

1. label the three main subatomic particles and their charges:

• proton: _________
• neutron: _________
• electron: _________

1. if an atom has 6 protons, what element is it?

1. true or false:

• electrons are found inside the nucleus. ______
• neutrons have no charge. ______

part b: periodic table basics

Explanation:

Question 1

A proton is a subatomic particle, a molecule is made of multiple atoms, and a neutron is also a subatomic particle. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the element's properties.

Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons are negatively charged. This is based on atomic structure knowledge.

The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, meaning it has 6 protons.

Answer:

c) atom
